Comparison of Three Analgesic Treatment Protocols for Pain Management during Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy

Abstract: Introduction: In this prospective and randomized study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of a eutectic mixture of local anesthetics (EMLA) cream, diclofenac sodium (DS) and EMLA in combination with DS (EMLA+DS) for pain management during extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). Patients and Methods: 120 patients who had undergone ESWL for renal stones were included in the study. The patients were randomized into three groups: the first group was treated with a eutectic mixture of local anesthetics cream (… Show more

“…The analgesic effect of EMLA cream is much less than intramuscular Sodium Diclofenac and their mixture has no superiority over using Sodium Diclofenac alon. 24 The operators were quite satisfied of the results of the diclofenac group, since only 3.7% of the patients in this group felt severe pain. Furthermore, more than 40% of participants in the placebo group felt a severe pain, requiring venous drugs.…”

“…These studies provide a wide array of options for analgesia during ESWL including intravenous, intramuscular, gel, local infiltration, and oral agents. [10111213141516] Their reported efficacy varies a lot among the studies. Our choice of triple oral agents was based on their proven individual efficacy in injectable forms, along with the oral formulation being more comfortable for all patients.…”

“…aussi, dans leur analyse portée sur 120 patients parue en 2009, ont comparé l'effet analgésique lors de la LEC de la crème EMLA ® seule, du Diclofenac seul et de leur association. Ils ont montré aucune différence, dans le contrôle de la douleur, chez les patients recevant du Diclofenac avec ou sans crème, et l'effet supérieur du Diclofenac sur EMLA [20]. Néanmoins, ces études sont relativement anciennes, utilisant des lithotripteurs de première ou seconde générations et comparant un nombre réduit de patients.…”
