Core Tip

Core tip: There are currently no set protocols for pain management in biliary colic. This literature review analyses studies from the last 15 years and shows that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) provide safe and effective pain control. It also suggests that NSAIDs play an important role in reducing the complication risk following episodes of biliary colic.
