title: Intravenous indomethacin and oxycone-papaverine in the treatment of acute renal colic. A double-blind study.
abstract: In a prospective double-blind, cross-over study, 61 patients with acute renal colic were treated with either indomethacin (50 mg) or oxycone-papaverine (5 mg + 50 mg) administered intravenously. For those patients requiring a second injection the drugs were reversed. The intensity of pain was evaluated before and 20 min after each injection according to an analogue visual scale 0 to 100. Both drug regimens provided comparable and significant pain relief; a pain score of less than 20 appeared to be satisfactory and was achieved in almost all cases.
