Shockwave treatment for a kidney stone: lying down two ways
This trial studies whether kidney-stone shockwave treatment works better when you lie on your back (supine) versus on your stomach (prone). It focuses on adults with a stone in the lower part of the urine tube (the distal ureter).
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT04796792Recruiting
Ultrasound help to pass a kidney stone
This study tests whether using ultrasound guidance can help people pass a kidney stone more easily. It looks at people with certain-sized stones and checks safety by managing issues like infection risk and bleeding risk.
Carmel, IndianaAges 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT06003348RecruitingPhase 4
Can a supplement help prevent calcium phosphate kidney stones?
This study tests a supplement called hydroxycitrate to see if it can help people who form calcium phosphate kidney stones. It may offer a new way to prevent stones from forming.
Dallas, TexasAges 21–99 - NCT06987760Recruiting
Comparing Sizes of Ureteroscopes for Kidney Stone Laser Treatment
This study compares two different sizes of flexible ureteroscopes to treat kidney and upper ureter stones using a laser. The goal is to see which size works better while keeping similar stone-breaking power.
Ningbo, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT07721935Recruiting
AI tool for urological disease diagnosis and treatment
This trial is testing an artificial intelligence (AI) system that helps doctors diagnose and treat urological conditions like urinary stones, prostate cancer, or bladder cancer. It looks at your medical records, scans, and surgical videos to improve care.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT06083051Recruiting
Comparing symptoms from different ureteral stents after stone surgery
This study compares four types of ureteral stents to see which causes the fewest side effects after kidney stone treatment. If you have a stent placed after stone surgery, your symptoms will be tracked to help find the best option.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–89 - NCT06942949Recruiting
Testing a new sound wave device for kidney stones
This study tests a new device that uses sound waves to break up kidney stones in the ureter. It may help people with a single stone of moderate size, as an alternative to surgery or standard shock wave treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 21 years+ - NCT07088536Recruiting
Returning to work after urology surgery
This study looks at how urology surgeries, like removing a kidney or treating kidney stones, affect patients' ability to return to work. It will help doctors understand the challenges patients face when going back to their jobs.
Krakow, MalopolskaAges 18 years+ - NCT05337189Recruiting
Urine DNA test study for possible bladder cancer
This trial looks at how a urine DNA test may help find bladder cancer (or clues that it might be present), especially in people with symptoms or higher risk. You may be asked to provide urine and also complete standard tests like imaging, a cystoscopy, or pathology checks.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06032364Recruiting
Urinary tract stones in children
This study looks back at the medical records of children who had urinary tract stones (kidney stones, bladder stones, etc.) treated at two hospitals in France between 2010 and 2022. It helps doctors learn more about how these stones affect children.
StrasbourgAges 1–17 - 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 - NCT06990672Enrolling by invitation
WeChat therapy to help kidney stone patients drink more water
