Pain Management After Kidney Stone Surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 compares how lying on your stomach versus your back during kidney stone removal affects blood flow and heart function. It may help doctors choose the safest position for you.
This trial compares two surgical positions—lying on your back (supine) versus lying face-down (prone)—during a minimally invasive kidney stone removal procedure called PCNL. The study aims to find which position leads to better outcomes and fewer complications for patients with large kidney stones.
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.
This trial compares a nerve block (erector spinae block) to standard pain medicine for controlling pain after kidney stone removal surgery (PCNL). It aims to see which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study compares two different nerve block techniques to see which provides better pain relief after surgery to remove kidney stones. It aims to help patients experience less pain and need fewer pain medications afterward.
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.
