Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

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

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Kidney Stone	Drug: Toradol; Drug: Morphine	N/A

Detailed Description

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.
