What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAI), specifically piroxicam, in treating patients discharged from the emergency department after experiencing renal colic. The research aims to assess the recurrence of pain, reconsultation rates, and hospital admissions among patients receiving piroxicam compared to those receiving acetaminophen or a placebo. By focusing on a common yet under-researched condition, the study seeks to provide clearer recommendations for outpatient treatment of renal colic. The study will include adult patients who have been treated for renal colic in the emergency department and consent to participate.
