Efficacy of Preprocedural Diclofenac in Males Undergoing Double J Stent Removal Under Local Anesthesia

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2015-08-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Male

Summary

Double J (DJ) stents are placed following upper urinary tract surgeries. DJ stents are usually removed under local anesthesia using rigid cystoscope. Patients experience a lot of pain during this procedure and also continue to have discomfort during voiding for few days. The use of lignocaine jelly during this procedure is not very effective. Use of diclofenac suppository during flexible cystoscopy has been proven to be effective. This study was done to assess the effect of oral diclofenac in pain relief in patients undergoing DJ stent removal by rigid cystoscopy when compared to placebo and to assess its safety in these patients
