Summary
This study evaluates pain relief during extracorporeal shock-wave Lithotripsy by using
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and comparing it with fentanyl which is a
narcotic analgesic. Half of the participants will receive a primary fentanyl dose together
with TENS application, another half will receive a primary fentanyl dose. All patients will
receive fentanyl increments if they still complained of pain.
