Detailed Description

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

Renal colic, an intensely painful condition, is a common presenting complaint to the emergency department. Parenteral opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and acetaminophen are commonly used to provide relief from renal colic. The aim of the present trial was to investigate the analgesic efficacy and safety of Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation treatment in patients with renal colic within the emergency department.

Study Design and Setting: A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, single-center, clinical trial will be conducted in emergency department of a tertiary care university hospital.
