The effect of fluid load on pain was estimated in 60 patients with acute ureteral colic treated with 50 mg. intravenous indomethacin. One group received 3 l. fluid intravenously, while in another group all fluids were withheld for 6 hours. Pain was assessed with a visual analogue scale. No intergroup difference in regard to pain was found after 1, 3 and 6 hours of observation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
