Analgesic Effect of Erector Spinae Plane Block for Renal Colic Pain

Renal Colic

Plane blocks have become very popular in recent years with the introduction of ultrasonography into the regional anesthesia and algology practice. Erector spinae plane (ESP) block involves the injection of local anesthetics between erector spinae muscles and transverse process of vertebrae and can block the dorsal and ventral rami of thoracolumbar spinal nerves. The aim of this study was to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of the erector spine plane block for reno-ureteral colic.

Efficacy Study of Different Analgesic Options in Kidney Stone Pain Management

Renal ColicUrinary Calculi

Abdominal pain is one of the most common presentations to an emergency department (ED). Among patients presenting with abdominal pain, a common diagnosis in the Middle East is renal colic (urolithiasis or Kidney stones). As the patients with renal colic writhe around in agonizing pain, the first priority in an ED from a patient's perspective is fast and safe analgesia and to be pain free as early as possible. There are variations in physician preference to choose initial analgesic drug for managing such pain. Commonly used drugs are: Opioids such as Morphine or Fentanyl Non steroidal drugs such as Diclofenac, Ketorolac or Brufen and Paracetamol intravenous injection. A robust evidence in comparison of diclofenac versus morphine and paracetamol is lacking. This study is design to obtain data on efficacy of these three drugs within 30 minutes in a non inferiority trail.

Lactobacillus Reuteri DSM 17938 Versus Placebo in the Treatment of Infantile Colic

Colic

Infantile colic is a common medical condition which remains a frustrating problem for parents and health care providers with no clear treatment guidelines. To fill the void in existing literature, we present a protocol to examine whether probiotics are effective in decreasing infantile colic symptoms when compared to placebo treatment. We hypothesize that oral administration of the probiotic L. reuteri DSM 17938 will reduce symptoms of infantile colic in breastfed infants in comparison to placebo. An interim analysis will be conducted after 50 infants randomized to monitor both safety and efficacy.

The Effect of Chiropractic Treatment of Infantile Colic

Infantile Colic

Infantile colic is condition that affects more than 10% of babies and their families. The reason, and hence proper treatment, for this condition is unknown and many causes have been suggested. One of the treatments that parents choose is chiropractic manipulation. In Denmark, almost 10,000 babies are each year treated by chiropractors, and a high proportion is due to colic. However, the effect of chiropractic treatment of infantile colic has not been properly scientifically evaluated. The effects of chiropractic treatment on infantile colic needs to be investigated, since this is a very common disorder with no known effective treatment, but with good empirical evidence of the value of chiropractic treatment. Although it is usually considered to be a benign and self-limiting condition, some studies suggest there might be long-term effects in terms of psychomotor problems. In worst case, the infants' crying may also lead to violence and 'shaken baby syndrome'. Null hypothesis: There is no effect of chiropractic treatment on the course of infantile colic. This study is a controlled, clinical trial where infants fulfilling the diagnostic criteria for colic will be randomized into two groups. One group will receive treatment and the other won't. This will determine the overall effect and furthermore, subgroup analyses will be performed to identify possible subgroups of infants, who will benefit the most from the treatment.
