Self-posture therapy for leftover kidney stone pieces
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether simple posture exercises you can do at home can help clear small leftover stone pieces from the lower part of your kidney after standard stone treatment. It could spare you from needing more procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a kidney stone in the lower part of your kidney that is smaller than 15 mm (about half an inch).
- Your stone was treated either by shock wave therapy (LEC) or by a thin flexible scope passed through your urinary tract (URSS).
- If you had the scope procedure, your doctor saw small stone pieces remaining with the scope.
- If you have a ureteral stent (a small tube in your ureter), it must be removed before you start the posture exercises.
- You are able to safely do the posture exercises on your own (no physical disability, no balance problems, no severe obesity, no severe heart/lung failure).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you can speak and understand French.

This study looks at how your body’s position during surgery affects how well kidney stones are cleared. If you have stones ≤2 cm and are having a scope-based kidney stone removal, you may be able to join.
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 study looks at whether giving patients homework to do after their kidney stone surgery helps them recover better. It aims to see if this approach can improve your results after a procedure called retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRC).
This study measures a new score called the pelvic floor fatigue index, which looks at how tired the pelvic floor muscles get, in people who have a ureteral stent placed after kidney stone surgery. The goal is to see if this score can help predict or prevent bladder problems that stents can cause.
This trial tests a supplement called Neorenal Forte to help clear tiny leftover kidney stone pieces after laser surgery. If you have small fragments left after your procedure, this study may help you get rid of them.
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.
