Purpose: In order to provide analgesia in renal colic, related to acute urinary obstruction, many different agents are used. Use of prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors is very common for this purpose. In our study, we aim to evaluate the analgesic effect of lornoxicam, included in above mentioned group, in renal colic treatment.
Materials and Methods: The patients, who were taken to emergency room due to renal colic, were assigned into two group. Before any treatment, they were evaluated with visual analog pain scale, using darkening color scores between 0 to 10. Group 1: 8mg injectable lornoxicam was administrated, Grup 2: 75mg diclofenac sodium I.M was injected. Following treatment, at 15, 30, and 60th minutes, all patients were reevaluated for pain by using visual analog scale.
Results: Initially, 213 patients were recruited for baseline evaluation and 129 of them, were included in the study. Before treatment, mean pain scores of the patients in Group 2 were found to be (S0) 6.10, whereas before treatment mean pain scores of the patients in Group 1 were found to be (S0) 6.04, (p=0.868). While means of pain scores (S15, S30, S60) at 15, 30, and 60th were found as 1.46, 0.84, and 0.63 respectively in Group 1, in Group 2, these values were found 3.75, 1.96, and 1.50 respectively and it was found that there was a statistically significant difference between the values (S15: p
