Recruiting studies
- NCT05993546Recruiting
Comparing two sheath types for mini kidney stone surgery
This study compares two types of sheaths (tubes) used during a small-incision kidney stone surgery. The goal is to see if a vacuum-assisted sheath works better than the standard one to remove stones.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07523074Recruiting
Early vs. delayed shock wave treatment for leftover kidney stones
This trial compares two timing schedules for using shock waves to break up small kidney stones that remain after a surgical procedure. The goal is to find the best time to treat these leftover stones to help them pass naturally and prevent complications.
Banī Suwayf, Beni-Suef GovernrateAges 18–70 - NCT07535281Recruiting
Kidney Stone Surgery Technique and Recovery Study
This study tests a technique during kidney stone removal surgery (RIRS) where the surgeon fully drains the kidney system at the end of the procedure. Researchers want to see if this approach improves how quickly patients recover and reduces complications.
Gandong-gu, Outside U.S./CanadaAges 20–80 - NCT06266793Enrolling by invitation
Holmium vs. thulium laser for mini kidney-stone surgery
This study compares two lasers (holmium and thulium) used during mini PCNL surgery to remove kidney stones. If you are scheduled for this surgery and have a stone between 1 and 3 cm, you may be able to join and help doctors learn which laser works better.
Portland, MaineAges 21–90 - NCT04746378Enrolling by invitation
Using CT scans to estimate kidney stone size
This study checks how accurately doctors can estimate the size of kidney stones using CT scan images before treatment. It may help improve planning for procedures like shockwave therapy, scope procedures, or surgery.
Ghent, Eastern-FlandersAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for nephrolithiasis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 29 recruiting nephrolithiasis studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a nephrolithiasis trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a nephrolithiasis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
