Patient controlled analgesia increases pain tolerance, decreases narcotic requirements, simplifies ESWL as an outpatient procedure and can be used to quantify analgesic requirements during lithotripsy. Pain and tolerance thresholds of electrocutaneous sensitivity are sensitive markers of pain tolerance during lithotripsy, which may be more pronounced in male patients.
