Comparing symptoms from different ureteral stents after stone surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.

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.
This study compares a regular double J stent with a newer Comfi J stent to see which causes fewer symptoms after ureteroscopy for kidney stones. It may help patients who need a temporary stent choose one with less discomfort.
This study compares three different approaches to placing a temporary tube (stent) in your ureter after surgery to break up and remove kidney stones. The goal is to find which stenting method works best for your recovery.
This trial compares two types of ureteral stents (small tubes that help urine drain from the kidney to the bladder) in children having surgery for kidney stones. The goal is to see which type causes fewer symptoms like pain or discomfort.
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 compares two types of temporary drainage tubes (stents) placed in the ureter—the tube that carries urine from kidney to bladder—after surgery to remove kidney or ureteral stones. The study measures which stent causes fewer uncomfortable symptoms during the 2-week recovery period.
