Recruiting studies
- 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.

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 - NCT07630155Recruiting
Single-use digital scope for kidney cancer surveillance
This trial tests a new, disposable flexible camera (ureteroscope) to safely check for or monitor upper urinary tract cancer in an office setting without putting you to sleep. The goal is to see if patients can tolerate this procedure comfortably while awake.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 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+ - NCT05712785Recruiting
Ureteroscopy test for stones in the ureter
This trial studies ureteroscopy, a procedure where a camera and tools are used through the urethra to reach and treat ureter stones. It may help people whose kidney/urine tract stones are causing symptoms and who can safely cooperate with treatment.
Handan, HebeiAges 18–85 - 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+ - 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 - NCT05731622Recruiting
Mitomycin C in the bladder after ureteroscopy for UTUC
This trial studies whether a medicine called mitomycin C given as a one-time bladder treatment right after ureteroscopy can reduce later recurrence (measured by urine test results and “IVR rate”). It may help people with non-spreading UTUC who are having endoscopic procedures and are planned for this standard add-on treatment.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT04565795Recruiting
Temporary dissolvable ureter stent after uncomplicated ureteroscopy
This trial studies a temporary stent that is designed to dissolve in the ureter after a straightforward ureteroscopy to remove a kidney/ureter stone. The goal is to check safety and how well the device performs, and whether it can replace longer-lasting stents for some people.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 21–80 - NCT05715086Recruiting
Personalized emergency care for painful ureter stones
This trial tests a patient-centered approach to managing painful kidney/ureter stones that are blocking urine flow. It may help you choose the safest next step—such as treatment with a scope or careful observation—based on your symptoms and situation.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05866081Recruiting
Testing whether to skip a stent after kidney stone procedures
This trial studies whether some people can avoid getting a ureteral stent after ureteroscopy and lithotripsy for a kidney stone. It may help reduce stent-related discomfort while still keeping outcomes safe for the stone problem.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05916963RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a water pill to reduce leftover kidney stone fragments
This Phase 3 study tests whether using a “water pill” called furosemide during a flexible scope procedure helps leave fewer kidney-stone fragments behind. It may help reduce the chance of needing additional treatment later.
AngersAges 18–80 - NCT06158620RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Nasal spray for pain after ureter stent placement
This trial tests whether a nasal spray form of the painkiller ketorolac can safely reduce pain from a ureteral stent after stone surgery. If you are having a ureteroscopy with stent placement, this might help you manage discomfort without stronger medications.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06469736Recruiting
Comparing two methods for removing kidney stones
This study compares two ways to remove kidney stones: using a scope with a laser to break up stones, versus using the same scope plus a special gel to help remove the pieces. It aims to see if adding the gel makes the procedure more effective and safer.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06635889RecruitingPhase 2
Numbing medicine in bladder after kidney stone surgery
This study tests whether numbing medicine placed directly into the bladder can reduce pain after a ureteroscopy procedure for kidney stones. It may help you feel better and use less pain medication after surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06667557Recruiting
Comparing Two Lasers for Kidney Stone Breaking
This trial compares two types of lasers used to break up kidney and ureter stones during a ureteroscopy procedure. The goal is to see which laser works better at breaking stones into smaller pieces.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - 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+ - NCT06793540Recruiting
Self-posture therapy for leftover kidney stone pieces
This trial tests whether simple posture exercises you can do at home can help clear small leftover stone pieces from the lower part of your kidney after standard stone treatment. It could spare you from needing more procedures.
LyonAges 18–70 - 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.
Cairo, AbassiaAges 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ureteroscopy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 34 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.
