About this study

Official title: Interest of Néfopam in the Treatment of Pain During the Intense Ureteral Calculi Uncomplicated in Adults in Emergencies Unit.

The administration of néfopam after initial treatment by kétoproféne, could obtain, in patients remaining pain and classically need morphine, analgesia at least the same as morphine alone. The use of néfopam second line after ketoprofen could reducing (or even eliminating) the need for morphine (and its side effects), allowing a reduction in the length of stay of patients in the emergency unit.

The main objective is to show that the addition of a néfopam initial treatment with the kétoproféne, reduces, in patients with ureteral calculi, the percentage of patients requiring the use of a treatment by morphine.

The secondary objective is to reduce the side effects caused by the morphine, shorten the time to install the appropriate level of analgesia while reducing the risk of failure of the titration morphine, reduce the time spent on titration of morphine and reduce the length of stay patient intake in emergency unit.

Read the detailed description

The study is prospective, parallel, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled analysis with intent to treat. There are 2 groups:

  • A group N: néfopam
  • A group P: placebo And all the patient receive, before randomization, 100 mg of ketoprofen (Profenid ®) on 20 minutes.

The number of subjects is 52.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • NéfopamDrug

    There are two groups :

    • a group N : néfopam
    • a group P : placebo All the patients receive, before randomization, 100 mg of ketoprofen (Profenid) on 20 minutes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Need to use morphine as an analgesic scheme (binary yes/no)

    Measured: As analgesic scheme

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Quantity of morphine consumed after titration (mg and number of bolus)

    Measured: After titration and after administration of placebo or néfopam

  2. Pain (measured by the EVA) after administration of placebo or néfopam

    Measured: After titration and after administration of placebo or néfopam

  3. Simplified verbal Scale of Satisfaction

    Measured: After titration and after administration of placebo or néfopam
