Personalized emergency care for painful ureter stones
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (over 18 years old).

- A CT scan shows a ureter stone that is at least 5 mm.
- You have symptoms such as significant pain, nausea/vomiting, or blood in the urine.
- Your urine test does not show infection (no dirty urine or positive urine culture).

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 study compares different patient body positions during a minimally invasive procedure (flexible ureteroscopy) to remove kidney stones from the upper ureter. The goal is to find the best positioning to make stone removal easier and more successful.
This trial tests whether using a thin scope to remove a kidney stone right away is safe and effective for people with a sudden blockage in one kidney that has caused kidney function to drop. It aims to see if immediate stone removal can improve kidney function without needing a temporary drainage tube first.
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.
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 a new smart scope that automatically controls pressure and temperature during stone removal surgery. It aims to make the procedure safer for people who have a kidney stone and a urinary tract infection.
