Summary
To determine if emergency department patients with acute ureteral colic pain due to a
ureteral stone who are treated with tamsulosin, versus placebo, will experience a shorter
time to passage of their stone or resolution of their pain. A secondary study objective will
be to determine if there is a relationship between response to tamsulosin and stone size or
position in the ureter.
