5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (diclofenac, kotorolac, piroxicam) opioids (petidine, tramadol, fentanyl), paracetamol and topical agents (EMLA, diclofenal gel), have been shown to be effective in the treatment of renal colic . NSAIDs are commonly used to treat renal colic, but they can reduce renal blood flow and cause kidney damage. In addition, there are limitations in use in cases such as gastrointerstinal ulcers, hepatic insufficiency and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Gastrointestinal complications (ulcers, reflux, etc.) may cause hypersensitivity reactions (allergy) and coagulation disorders. On the other hand, opioids may cause nausea, vomiting, hypotension, sedation, dizziness and even respiratory depression. In addition to these pharmacological agents, stair-stroke, Turkish bath, blanket or hot water bag and local warming are now used in the treatment of renal colic in traditional methods. Heat Wrap is an effective, natural solution designed to remove muscle pain with the help of heat and used regularly by physical therapists. The heat wrap is activated by air contact within a few minutes after its removal from its sheet and does not contain any drugs. It contains heat from the active iron particles in contact with air. After a few minutes of application, it begins to spread the natural, long-term (8 hours) heat by targeting the source of the pain. The patient satisfaction is high because it is odorless and thin. In the literature, considering the success of heat therapy in patients with renal colic (bath entrance, electric blanket heating) in this study we have aimed to evaluate the efficacy of alternative treatment with pain-relieving alternative treatments with little potential for side effects and to see its applicability in daily treatment plans.
