Ureteroscopy test for stones in the ureter
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosed stone located in the ureter (the tube from the kidney to the bladder).
- You’re able to cooperate with the procedure and follow instructions during treatment.
- You do not have a severe urinary tract infection right now.
- Your doctor/trial team does not believe you have another health problem that makes the study unsafe or unsuitable.

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.
This trial tests a procedure called ureteroscopy combined with a special sheath that uses negative pressure to remove kidney stones. It may help people with medium-sized stones get a more complete removal in a single treatment.
This study looks at how well a procedure called ureteroscopy works for removing stones from the ureter in people who have had stones before compared to those who have never had them. You might be a good fit if your stone is small (15 mm or less) and located in the middle or lower part of the ureter.
This study looks at how well a specific thin camera tool (the LithoVue Elite) works during ureteroscopy and laser treatment for kidney stones. It may help surgeons improve how effectively stones are cleared and how the procedure goes.
This trial tests if using a scope to remove a ureteral stone (primary ureteroscopy) is safe and effective for patients whose kidney function has suddenly worsened due to the blockage. It aims to avoid putting in a temporary tube before the stone treatment.
This trial tests a new smart ureteroscope that controls pressure and temperature to remove kidney or ureteral stones while you have a urinary tract infection. It may offer a safer way to treat stones without needing to wait for the infection to clear.
