Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[Ultrasound guided transrectal prostatic biopsy and pain. Prospective randomized study comparing lubricant gel, lidocaine gel, and anesthetic blockage of the neurovascular bundles with 1% lidocaine].
To quantify anxiety and immediate and late pain, efficacy of the common analgesic methods, and complications. ⋯ The use of intrarectal lidocaine gel did not demonstrated being more effective in pain control in our series than the use of lubricant gel, but lidocaine injected into the apex and seminal vesicles was.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
[Intramuscular ketorolac compared to subcutaneous tramadol in the initial emergency treatment of renal colic].
To compare the efficacy and safety of two analgesics (tramadol and ketorolac) for initial emergency treatment of renal colic. ⋯ Both ketorolac (30 mg i.m.) and tramadol (1 mg/kg s.c.) are effective in the initial treatment of renal colic. Both drugs have an efficacy greater than 80% when used separately and almost 100% when used in combination. The analgesic effect of ketorolac is observed earlier than that of tramadol.
