About this study

Official title: Intravenous Treatment With Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID) Versus Nebulized Morphine (NM) Analgesia for First-line Renal Colic: Randomized Controlled Double-blind Single-center Study.

The aim of the investigators study was to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of nebulized morphine compared with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAI)intravenously in the management of renal colic.

Determine the need for systematic outpatient prescription of NSAI.

Read the detailed description

Renal colic are a frequent cause of consultation in the emergency departement (ED).

They count for approximatively 20% of patients presenting to the ED with severe acute onset abdominal pain.

For acute treatment of renal colics (RC), guidelines recommend the use of intravenous (IV) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAI) drugs in association with antalgics like Paracetamol or Morphine.

But the NSAID present many inconvenient and cannot be used in some type of patients; that's why the investigators investigated the use of other drugs, such as nebulised morphine, in the ED treatment of renal colics.

the NM has the adequacy of being quickest, more practical to use and more tolerated than the IV NSAID.

In this study, the investigators aim to assess the feasibility, efficacity and safety of nebulised morphine compared to intravenous NSAID in the treatment of RC.

What participants receive

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

  • IV NSAIDrug

    Also called ketoprofen IV

    100 mg of ketoprofen in 50 ml volume given in 30 minutes by IV root

  • NMDrug

    Also called morphine

    3 nebulisations of 5 mg morphine chlorhydrate each given over 30 minutes (10 minutes per nebulisation)

  • IV Serum SalineDrug

    Also called serum saline

    50 ml of SS is given by IV root over 30 minutes

  • Nebulised Serum SalineDrug

    Also called serum saline

    3 nebulisations of 5ml SS each are given over 30 minutes

What is being measured

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

  1. efficacity: VAS pain reduction

    The effectiveness of treatment is defined by a decrease in the intensity of pain corresponding to a decrease of the VAS above 50% at 60 minutes compared to baseline.

    Measured: 5, 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. feasibility of the study: number of patients accepting the adhesion to protocol

    the feasibility is assessed by comparing the number of patients accepting the protocol to the total number of patients consulting for RC; and the number of patients that actually completed the protocol course (if above 50%, the protocol is considered feasable).

    Measured: at base line and at 60 minutes

  2. safety: side effects of treatment

    the safety of treatment is evaluated by the occurence of side effects at any time of the protocol.

    only major side effects (repeated vomiting, untolerated dizziness, conscience troubles, dyspnea and allergic reaction) are admitted to stop the protocol.

    Measured: 5, 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing IV NSAI, NM and IV Serum Saline in people with Renal Colic, run by University of Monastir at 1 site in Tunisia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Tunisia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

efficacity: VAS pain reduction (time frame: 5, 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Feb 2020.
