Does salbutamol reduce the pain of kidney stones when used alongside normal pain relief?

Kidney stones can cause sudden, severe tummy and back pain. This trial investigates whether salbutamol—a medicine usually used for asthma—can help ease this pain alongside regular painkillers. Researchers want to see if relaxing the tube between the kidney and bladder provides better, faster relief for patients in the emergency department.
