Randomized Controlled Trial
Usefulness of nefopam in treating pain of severe uncomplicated renal colics in adults admitted to emergency units: a randomised double-blind controlled trial. The 'INCoNU' study.
Renal colic pain is a frequent cause of emergency department admissions (1-2% of admissions). It is extremely painful, often requiring intravenous morphine titration. The aim of this study was to estimate the effect of adding nefopam to ketoprofen upon subsequent morphine consumption and the time needed to achieve adequate analgesia in renal colic. ⋯ http://ClinicalTrials.gov ID number NCT00639574.
