BACKGROUND: Renal colic following stent removal post-ureteroscopy is a significant clinical issue. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intramuscular ketorolac and dexamethasone in preventing renal colic after stent removal. METHODS: A randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted with 147 patients. Participants were allocated to three groups: ketorolac only, ketorolac plus dexamethasone, and placebo. The primary outcome was the visual analog scale (VAS) score for pain, assessed at 1- and 7-days post-stent removal. Secondary outcomes included opioid use, emergency department visits, renal colic symptoms, and missed workdays. RESULTS: The combination group (ketorolac and dexamethasone) demonstrated significantly lower VAS scores at 24 hours compared to the placebo group (2.95 vs. 4.30, CONCLUSION: Intramuscular ketorolac and dexamethasone significantly reduce pain and related complications following stent removal, providing an effective alternative to opioid analgesics.
