Pain after ureter stone removal surgery study
Part of Kidney & urinary, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at pain levels after a procedure to remove stones from the ureter (the tube connecting your kidney to your bladder). It may help find better ways to manage pain after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a stone in your ureter and are scheduled for ureteroscopy (a scope procedure) to remove it.
- You already have a stent (a small tube) placed in your ureter before this procedure.
- You do not have complex ureter problems like narrowings (strictures).
- Your stone is not stuck (impacted).
- You do not have only one kidney.
- You do not have large kidney stones (bigger than 3mm).
- You have not had any ureter surgeries before (except endoscopic stone treatments).
- You are not pregnant or suspected to be pregnant.

This trial tests a patient-centered approach to managing painful kidney/ureter stones that are blocking urine flow. It may help you choose the safest next step—such as treatment with a scope or careful observation—based on your symptoms and situation.
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 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 study compares three different ways of placing a small tube called a stent in the ureter after stone-removal surgery. The goal is to find the best method to reduce discomfort and improve recovery.
This study compares two ways to drain urine when a kidney stone completely blocks the ureter (the tube from kidney to bladder) in patients with only one working kidney. After your kidney recovers, doctors will remove the stone using a minimally invasive camera procedure.
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.
