Nasal spray for pain after ureter stent placement
Part of Kidney & urinary, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a nasal spray form of the painkiller ketorolac can safely reduce pain from a ureteral stent after stone surgery. If you are having a ureteroscopy with stent placement, this might help you manage discomfort without stronger medications.

This trial tests if giving a corticosteroid during ureteroscopy (a scope procedure to remove kidney or ureter stones) can reduce pain afterward. If you are having this surgery and are not already on steroids or strong pain medicines, this study may help manage your recovery.
This early-phase study tests whether taking an anti-inflammatory medicine around the time of ureter stent placement can improve outcomes for people with kidney stones. It looks for participants who are getting a stent after a scope procedure and who can follow strict medication and health rules.
This study tests if a nasal spray of ketorolac (an NSAID pain reliever) or ketamine (a dissociative anesthetic) can reduce the pain of a numbing injection in your finger. If you need a finger block, this could make the procedure more comfortable.
This study tests whether giving a low dose of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) called ketorolac for a short time after orthopedic surgery can reduce the need for strong painkillers like opioids. It is for people who have broken bones that need surgery with metal plates, screws, or rods.
This trial tests if a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) called ketorolac can help reduce pain after lower back fusion surgery. It is for people who are having elective surgery to fuse one or two bones in their lower back.
This trial tests whether a single dose of dexamethasone, given before stent placement, can reduce pain, urgency, and discomfort caused by ureteral stents after kidney stone surgery. If you are having a stent placed during ureteroscopy, you may qualify.
