Randomized Controlled Trial of Ultrasound Versus CT (Computed Tomography) for Patients in the Emergency Department With Suspected Renal Colic

University of California, San Francisco·interventional·Posted Oct 14, 2011·Updated Dec 3, 2014

In Brief

A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Point-of-care Ultrasound, Radiology Ultrasound, and 1 other intervention for Urolithiasis. Completed, enrolled 2,776 participants across 15 sites.

Detailed Summary

This is a multi-center, randomized controlled trial of ultrasonography (ultrasound) compared to computed tomography (CT) for the initial emergency room evaluation of patients with suspected renal colic. The investigators will compare several measures of effectiveness including morbidity related to the patient's underlying disease, or complications related to delayed diagnosis, patient status regarding pain/missed days of work, and utilization of health care resources based on one of three study arms: ultrasound in the Emergency Department, ultrasound in Radiology or CT.
