Brief summary

An analgesia protocol for acute renal colic will lead to faster significant reductions in pain than prior practice.

Detailed description

A retrospective study was performed that assessed the time to significant analgesia and medications used to achieve analgesia in the DHMC ED. Based upon this a prospective pain management protocol was designed and we will track the difference in time to significant pain relief between the two groups.
