Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

An analgesia protocol for acute renal colic will lead to faster significant reductions in pain than prior practice.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A retrospective study was performed that assessed the time to significant analgesia and medications used to achieve analgesia in the DHMC ED. Based upon this a prospective pain management protocol was designed and we will track the difference in time to significant pain relief between the two groups.
