Cairo, AbbasiaAges 1–14 - NCT06758284Recruiting
Laughter yoga for fear and anxiety before ureteroscopy
This study tests whether a special type of yoga that focuses on laughter can help reduce fear and anxiety before a ureteroscopy procedure. It may be a way to feel calmer without using medicine.
Samsun, SamsunAges 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 - NCT07223580RecruitingPhase 4
Steroid use for pain after kidney stone surgery
This trial tests if giving a corticosteroid during ureteroscopy (a scope procedure to remove kidney or ureter stones) can reduce pain afterward. If you are having this surgery and are not already on steroids or strong pain medicines, this study may help manage your recovery.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07514351Recruiting
Comparing two procedures for medium-to-large kidney stones
This study compares two ways to remove kidney stones that are medium to large in size. It will help find out which method works better and is safer for patients.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07859436Recruiting
Audio consent for kidney stone surgery
This study tests whether adding a voice recording (human or AI) to the written consent form helps patients understand their upcoming kidney stone surgery better before they agree to it.
Aydin, AydınAges 18 years+ - NCT07868874Enrolling by invitation
Two versus four weeks of stent before ureteroscopy
This study compares leaving a ureteral stent in place for two weeks versus four weeks before a second procedure to remove kidney stones. The goal is to see which waiting time makes the second procedure easier and safer.
Islamabad, FedralAges 18–65 - NCT07763613Recruiting
Study of pelvic floor strength after kidney stone surgery
This study measures a new score called the pelvic floor fatigue index, which looks at how tired the pelvic floor muscles get, in people who have a ureteral stent placed after kidney stone surgery. The goal is to see if this score can help predict or prevent bladder problems that stents can cause.
Trabzon, TrabzonAges 18–65 - NCT06628765Recruiting
Comparing two types of single-use ureteroscopes for kidney stones in children
This trial compares two types of disposable flexible ureteroscopes to see which works better for removing kidney stones in children. If your child has a single kidney stone or multiple stones that add up to less than 20 mm, this study may help guide better treatment.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges birth–14 years - NCT07627880Recruiting
Kidney Stone Blockage: Best Drainage Method Before Removal
This study compares two ways to drain urine when a kidney stone completely blocks the ureter (the tube from kidney to bladder) in patients with only one working kidney. After your kidney recovers, doctors will remove the stone using a minimally invasive camera procedure.
Banī Suwayf, Beni Suweif GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06728943Recruiting
Aminophylline for kidney stones that couldn't be reached with a scope
This trial tests whether putting a drug called aminophylline into the ureter (the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder) can help break up or pass kidney stones that were too hard to reach with a standard rigid scope.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT07492147Recruiting
Negative pressure suction for kidney stone surgery
This trial tests if using negative pressure suction during ureteroscopy can reduce fluid absorption and infections. It may help people undergoing kidney stone surgery.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 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+ - NCT07296835Recruiting
Comparing a new flexible ureteroscope for kidney stone surgery
This trial tests a specific flexible scope (Shenzhen HugeMed 6.3 French) for removing kidney or ureter stones. It looks at how well it works, costs, and recovery, and may be a good option if you have stones smaller than 2.5 cm and need your first such surgery.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07247617Recruiting
Flexible vs semi-rigid for upper ureter stones
This trial compares two types of ureteroscopes (flexible and semi-rigid) to see which works better for removing stones in the upper part of the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder. It may help you if you have a single stone there that's no bigger than 20 mm.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07246967Recruiting
Preventing infection after kidney stone surgery
This trial tests if using a special suction tube during surgery to remove kidney stones can lower the risk of infection. It is for people with small to medium-sized stones in the kidney or upper ureter.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07238803Recruiting
Flexible ureteroscopy with dusting for lower kidney stones
This trial tests if using a flexible tube with a laser (FURS) plus special suction (FANS) is better for breaking up and removing stones from the lower part of the kidney. It may help you if you have stones there and are scheduled for a procedure.
ZagazigAges 18 years+ - NCT07124299RecruitingPhase 4
Alpha-blockers before kidney stone surgery: a randomized study
This trial tests whether taking an alpha-blocker medication before a type of kidney stone surgery (flexible ureteroscopy) helps the surgeon insert the ureteral access sheath more easily. Alpha-blockers are drugs that relax certain muscles, possibly making the procedure smoother and safer.
Santo André, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06830577Recruiting
Aminophylline for kidney stone removal surgery
This trial tests if placing aminophylline into the ureter during a stone removal procedure (flexible ureteroscopy) reduces complications. It may help people with kidney stones smaller than 2 cm who have not had a ureteral stent placed before.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ureteroscopy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 35 recruiting ureteroscopy 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 ureteroscopy 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 ureteroscopy 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.
