Numbing medicine in bladder after kidney stone surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether numbing medicine placed directly into the bladder can reduce pain after a ureteroscopy procedure for kidney stones. It may help you feel better and use less pain medication after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests different ways to manage pain after a kidney stone removal procedure called percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). It aims to find which method works best to keep you comfortable with fewer side effects.
This trial tests a regional anesthesia (numbing medicine given near nerves) during minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery. The goal is to see if it helps control pain around surgery and improves recovery comfort.
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medicine into the tube site after kidney stone removal can reduce pain. If you are having this surgery, this approach might help you feel more comfortable afterward.
This trial tests whether a numbing injection in the back (called a retrolaminar block) improves comfort during ESWL, a treatment that uses sound waves to break up kidney stones while you lie on your stomach. It aims to reduce pain and help you feel more at ease during the procedure.
This study tests whether injecting the numbing medicine bupivacaine during sling surgery for stress incontinence can reduce pain right after surgery and for months afterward. It is a randomized double-blind trial, meaning neither you nor your doctor will know if you received bupivacaine or a placebo.
This trial tests whether an “ESP block” (a targeted local anesthetic injection near nerves) works better than standard care to control pain after percutaneous kidney stone removal. If it helps with pain, it could reduce the need for stronger pain medicines after surgery.
