Recruiting studies in Alabama
- NCT07101809Recruiting
Comparing two ways to remove kidney stones
This study compares a standard kidney stone removal procedure (ureteroscopy with laser) to a newer suction-based technology. If you have a kidney stone that needs surgery, this trial may help your doctor find the best way to remove it.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06989320Recruiting
Oxalate production in calcium oxalate stone formers
This study looks at how the body makes oxalate (a natural substance that can form kidney stones) in people who have had calcium oxalate stones. You will eat a special diet and stop supplements for a short time to help researchers understand stone formation.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT06330246Recruiting
Testing a gut bacteria treatment for calcium oxalate kidney stones
This study tests whether giving a specific gut bacteria can help people with calcium oxalate kidney stones. It looks at whether the bacteria can change how the body processes oxalate, which may reduce stone formation.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT04430426Enrolling by invitation
Study for kidney stone patients with an AGXT gene change
This study looks at people age 18+ who have a history of calcium oxalate kidney stones and who have a specific AGXT gene change found on genetic testing. It involves following a controlled diet for five days, which may help researchers understand how diet affects kidney stones in this group.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06331546Recruiting
Study of gut oxalate absorption in calcium oxalate kidney stone patients
This study looks at how your gut absorbs oxalate, a natural substance in many foods that can lead to kidney stones. By eating special diets and pausing certain supplements, researchers can measure your oxalate absorption. This may help find better ways to prevent kidney stones.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT06210009Recruiting
Can a heart-healthy diet help prevent kidney stones?
This study tests whether a special diet (called DASH, similar to one for high blood pressure) can reduce substances in urine that cause kidney stones. If you have had kidney stones and live in the Birmingham area, this diet might help prevent future stones.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 19–89 - NCT05417568Recruiting
Testing how oxalate responses differ in kidney stone patients
This study looks at how the body reacts to oxalate in people with calcium oxalate kidney stones and in people without kidney stones. It may help researchers understand why some people form stones and how to better prevent them.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–60 - NCT02780297Recruiting
Study of rare stone-causing kidney conditions
This study is for people with certain rare kidney conditions that can cause kidney stones. It aims to learn how these conditions behave over time and may help improve future care.

What taking part in a kidney stone study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

- Are there kidney stone clinical trials in Alabama?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 8 recruiting kidney stone studies with a site in Alabama, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a kidney stone study in Alabama?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Alabama to take part?
