What is being measured

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

  1. Pain Score Change

    We asked the patient's pain score on a scale of 0-10 with 10 being the highest amount of pain and 0 no pain, before and after treatment (approximately 1 hour). Primary Outcome was the change in score before and after treatment.

    Measured: 1 hour after the completion of treatment medication (Placebo or Study Drug)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage of Participants Requiring Opiates for Additional Pain Control

    We analyzed how many patients required additional pain control with opiates between the two treatment groups.

    Measured: Any opiate administration required after re-evaluation of pain score after initial treatment with either placebo or study drug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Magnesium Sulfate and D5W in people with Renal Colic, run by Henry Ford Health System.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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

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?

Pain Score Change (time frame: 1 hour after the completion of treatment medication (Placebo or Study Drug)). 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.
