About this study

Official title: Intravenous Magnesium Sulfate Combined to Diclofenac Versus Intravenous Lidocaine Combined to Diclofenac Versus Diclofenac Alone in the ED Treatment of Renal Colic. A Randomized Double Blind Study.

to evaluate the analgesic effect of a standard dose of intravenous magnesium added to intramuscular diclofenac compared to intravenous lidocaine combined to intramuscular diclofenac or intramuscular diclofenac alone in patients presenting to the emergency department with renal colic and whether it can reduce opioid consumption.

Read the detailed description

Magnesium (MgSO4) is a N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist and is thought to be involved in the modulation of pain. There has been little direct evidence that MgSO4 relieve neuropathic pain and prevents opioid-induced hyperalgesia in humans.

Intramuscular Diclofenac seems to offer the most effective sustained analgesia for renal colic in the ED and has few side effects.

Lidocain became the agent of choice in visceral and central pain. Intravenous lidocain is effective in the management of neuropathic pain such as diabetic neuropathy, post-surgical pain, post herpetic pain, headaches, and neurological malignancies. At low doses, lidocain is known a relatively safe medication. Lidocain seems an effective treatment who can be administrated in the renal colic.

Objective of study :

The aim of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of a standard dose of intravenous magnesium added to intramuscular diclofenac compared to intravenous lidocain combined to intramuscular diclofenac or intramuscular diclofenac alone in patients presenting to the emergency department with renal colic and whether it can reduce opioid consumption.

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment success evaluated at 30 minutes after drug administration.

    we consider significant pain reduction as a drop in the initial pain score of 50% or more at 30 minutes following analgesia administration.

    Measured: 30 minutes

  2. Pain resolution time evaluated at 5, 10, 30, 60 and 90 minutes after drug administration.

    elapsed time between the start of the protocol and the decrease of baseline pain score by at least 50%.

    Measured: 90 minutes

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The proportion of patients achieving a drop in initial pain score of at least 3 evaluated at 30 minutes

    The proportion of patients achieving a drop in initial pain score of at least 3

    Measured: 30 minutes

  2. Adverse effect

    eg nausea, vomiting, vertigo, and lethargy based on self-reports and other clinical manifestations occuring at any moment of the protocol

    Measured: 90 minutes

  3. The need for additional analgesics at 30 minutes after protocol start to relieve the pain

    The need for rescue analgesia

    Measured: 30 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Diclofenac, Magnesium Sulfate and Lidocaine 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 9 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 10 Aug 2022. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Treatment success evaluated at 30 minutes after drug administration. (time frame: 30 minutes). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Aug 2022.
