Abstract | PURPOSE: MATERIAL AND METHODS: One hundred five patients with renal stones were randomly divided in to 3 groups. Group A was given intramuscular diclofenac sodium (1 mg/kg), 45 minutes before the procedure. In group B, 10 gm of eutectic mixture of local anesthetic ( EMLA) cream and in group C, 15 gm of diclofenac diethylamine gel was applied locally 45 minutes before the procedure. Ten-score linear and visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the severity of pain during the procedure. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) test was used to compare various parameters and analyzed statistically. RESULTS: All the three groups were not statistically different with respect to age, weight, stone size, number of shock wave delivered and maximum voltage used (P > .05). The mean pain score in group A was 4.48, in group B was 3.60 and in group C was 3.95, which were not significantly different (P = 1.34). Complication like skin lesion was found only in injection diclofenac sodium group whereas cold sensation at the local site was typically found in diclofenac diethylamine gel group. CONCLUSION:
