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).
- You came to the emergency department for this problem.
- 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).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study tests a program to help people who went to the ER for a kidney stone and need to see a urologist. The goal is to see if extra support helps patients attend their follow-up appointment.
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 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 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.
