Patients with acute renal colic divided into 2 groups. Group L administered ornoxicam and Group P administered pethidine and VAS was recorded for both groups.
Prospective, randomized, double blind clinical study including 120 patients with acute renal pain admitted in emergency department. They were randomly assigned to one of two groups using a computer-generated table. Group L received lornoxicam 8 mg IV plus 0.15 mg.kg-1 ketamine and Group P received pethidine 50 mg IV. Parameters were observed at baseline and after 0, 15, 30, 45 and 1 hour of drug treatment.
