  Purpose

Ureterolithiasis pain is a severe condition for which it takes some 30 minutes for standard treatment to yield maximal pain relief, a period during which the patient suffers severe to intolerable pain. It would thus be valuable to further evaluate sterile water injection as a method for achieving rapid relief for this type of pain.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Change in experience of pain [ Time Frame: VAS before treatment and 1,5,10,15,20,30,60,90 and 12o minutes after treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Measurement tool: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Requirement for additional pain relief [ Time Frame: Reported in the protocol up to two hours after treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The staff will reporter if any additional pain relief treatment have been used


Estimated Enrollment: 90

Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Standard care and sterile water injections
The patients in the intervention group will be given standard treatment, i.e. intramuscular injection of 50 mg diclofenac. Patients in this group will also be given four subcutaneous injections of 0.5 ml sterile water at the same segmental level, i. e. the area in which the patient reports the pain.
 Other: Diclofenac and sterile water injections
The patients in the intervention group will be given standard treatment, i.e. intramuscular injection of 50 mg diclofenac. Patients in this group will also be given four subcutaneous injections of 0.5 ml sterile water at the same segmental level, i. e. the area in which the patient reports the pain.
Placebo Comparator: Standard care and isotonic saline
The patients in this group will be given standard treatment, i.e. intramuscular injection of 50 mg diclofenac They will also be given four subcutaneous injections of isotonic saline at the same segmental level, i. e. the area in which the patient reports the pain.
 Other: Diclofenac and isotonic saline
The patients in this group will be given standard treatment, i.e. intramuscular injection of 50 mg diclofenac They will also be given four subcutaneous injections of isotonic saline at the same segmental level, i. e. the area in which the patient reports the pain.
No Intervention: Standard care
The patients in this group will be given standard treatment, i.e. intramuscular injection of 50 mg diclofenac.
