- 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+ - NCT06660914Recruiting
Robotic vs standard ureteroscopy for kidney stones
This trial compares a robot-assisted method to the standard procedure for removing kidney stones. It aims to see if the robotic approach is safer or more effective.
Sheung ShuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07306819Recruiting
Two kidney stone removal methods compared
This study compares two ways to remove kidney stones: mini-PCNL (a small incision in your back) versus flexible ureteroscopy with a suction sheath (a tube through the urinary tract). It aims to find which method works better and is safer for stones of this size.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT06869603Recruiting
Mediterranean diet for recurrent kidney stones and bone health
This trial looks at whether following the Mediterranean diet helps people who get kidney stones over and over again. It also checks how diet affects bone health. If you have had multiple kidney stones, you may be able to join.
NaplesAges 18 years+ - NCT06809582Recruiting
Body position and kidney stone removal results
This study looks at how your body’s position during surgery affects how well kidney stones are cleared. If you have stones ≤2 cm and are having a scope-based kidney stone removal, you may be able to join.
SamsunAges 18 years+ - NCT05833386Recruiting
Silodosin before surgery to help pass an access sheath
This trial looks at whether taking silodosin before flexible ureteroscopy makes it easier to place a special tube (ureteral access sheath) used during kidney stone surgery. If it works, it may make the procedure more feasible and smoother for people having the planned surgery.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT06510101Enrolling by invitation
Salvaging donor kidneys with stones
This study tests a way to remove kidney stones from donated kidneys before transplant, using a flexible scope to break up the stones. It might help people who receive a kidney that has stones.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT07342361Recruiting
Using a scope through the kidney for large stones
This trial uses a special scope inserted through the kidney to break up and remove large, branching kidney stones (called staghorn stones). It may be a good option if you have this type of stone and your kidneys are working well.
CairoAges 18–70 - NCT07421843Enrolling by invitation
Shorter vs longer wait between shockwave treatments for kidney stones
This study compares two different waiting times between shockwave treatments for kidney stones that are 8 to 15 mm. They want to see if a longer or shorter gap between sessions works better to break up the stone.
HelsingborgAges 18 years+ - NCT07159503Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two procedures for 2-4cm kidney stones
This trial compares two methods to remove kidney stones that are 2-4 cm in size: one uses a thin tube through a small cut in your back (VISOR), and the other uses a larger cut (PCNL). The goal is to see which approach works better and has fewer side effects.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT07071831Recruiting
Retrograde access study for kidney stone removal
This study compares two ways of getting a needle to the kidney for PCNL surgery (a procedure to remove stones). It aims to find which approach is safer and more effective for people with kidney stones between 1.5 and 3 cm.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07697677Recruiting
Mini versus standard surgery for complex kidney stones
This study compares two ways to surgically remove large or complex kidney stones. It tests whether a less invasive approach works as well as the standard surgery, with the goal of reducing recovery time and complications.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07070401Recruiting
VR for kidney stone pain in the ER
This trial tests whether using a virtual reality headset can help reduce pain in people coming to the emergency room with kidney stone pain. If you have had kidney stones before and are in significant pain, this might be a way to feel better without relying only on medication.
Toms River, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07171190Recruiting
Adding abdominal CT to standard lung cancer screening
This study adds an optional CT scan of the belly to the usual lung cancer screening in certain areas of England. It aims to see if this extra scan helps find more health issues early.
HullAges 55–70 - NCT07767773Recruiting
Long-term safety of two kidney stone scope methods
This study is checking the long-term safety of two different ways of doing a kidney stone scope procedure (one uses a small tube to guide the scope, the other does not). If you had this procedure for a kidney stone (up to 20 mm) and it's been at least a year, they want to follow up with you to see how you're doing.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT07753733Recruiting
Comparing one versus multiple tunnels for complex kidney stone removal
This trial compares two ways to remove complex kidney stones through a small cut in the back. It uses a special scope to see inside the kidney, and some patients get one or multiple small tunnels to reach the stones. The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective.
CairoAges 18–70 - NCT07763743Recruiting
Comparing two kidney stone removal methods
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures to remove small-to-medium kidney stones (1 to 2.5 cm). The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective, possibly leading to quicker recovery and fewer side effects.
Cairo, AbbasiaAges 1–14 - NCT07700251Recruiting
Comparing two surgeries for kidney stones in children
This study compares two types of surgery for removing kidney stones in children. It aims to see which method works better and is safer for stones up to 2 cm.
Qina, South ValleyAges 1–18 - NCT07506031Recruiting
Predicting ESWL Success for Children's Kidney Stones
This study uses a special ultrasound technique (called shear wave elastography) to predict how well shock wave therapy (ESWL) will break up kidney stones in children. It may help doctors decide the best treatment for your child's stone.
Banī SuwayfAges 1–18 - NCT05297331Recruiting
Kidney stone registry for adults who can consent
This trial is a global registry that collects information about people treated for kidney stones. It helps researchers learn about patterns of care and outcomes so treatments can improve over time.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05697250Recruiting
Compare low vs high laser settings for kidney stone removal
This study compares two laser power settings during a procedure (ureteroscopy) to break up kidney stones. It aims to see which setting works well and is safe for treating stones in the urinary tract.
Bergen, VestlandAges 18 years+ - NCT05894668Recruiting
Study outcomes of a combined kidney stone surgery approach in Asia
This study looks at how well a specific kidney-stone operation (ECIRS) works and what factors during surgery relate to outcomes. You may be able to join if you have urinary (kidney) stones and are planning to have ECIRS, with complete surgical records.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06862141Recruiting
Bendable vs. regular tube for kidney stone removal
This trial tests a new bendable tube against a standard tube used during kidney stone surgery. It may help people with kidney stones that need to be removed with a flexible scope.
Shebin Elkom, MenoufiaAges 18–70 - NCT07058402Recruiting
Comparing two kidney stone surgeries for medium stones
This trial compares two different surgeries for removing a single kidney stone that is 2 to 3 centimeters in size. One method uses a flexible scope with a suction tube, and the other uses a small incision in the back. The goal is to see which works better and has fewer side effects.
