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 the use of a ureteral access sheath (a tube that helps the surgeon reach the kidney) in people who already have a ureteral stent (a small tube placed in the ureter) and are having a stone removal procedure called ureteroscopy. It aims to find out if using this sheath is helpful for treating stones in the kidney or ureter.
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.
This trial tests two medications, mirabegron and tamsulosin, to see which works better for helping a single ureter stone pass without surgery. If you have a stone between 4 and 10 mm in size, are 18-75, and have good kidney function, this study may be for you.
This trial compares two ways of removing kidney stones during a procedure called ureterorenoscopy (a tube with a camera is used to reach and remove the stone). The aim is to see if using suction during the procedure helps remove stones more effectively than the standard method.
