IV Pain Meds for Shock Wave Lithotripsy
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving two pain relievers—acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ketorolac (an anti-inflammatory)—through an IV during shock wave lithotripsy helps control pain better than standard care. You may qualify if you need this kidney stone procedure and don't have certain health conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years old or older.
- You are scheduled to have shock wave lithotripsy (a non-surgical procedure that uses sound waves to break up kidney stones).
- You have not had this procedure in the last 6 months.
- You have not used narcotic pain medication in the last 2 days.
- You are not allergic to midazolam, fentanyl, acetaminophen (Tylenol), or ketorolac (an anti-inflammatory pain reliever).
- You do not have chronic kidney disease, a single kidney, active stomach ulcers, significant liver disease, or an elevated risk of bleeding (e.g., taking blood thinners).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests three different non-opioid pain relievers — ibuprofen, paracetamol, and tenoxicam — to see which one works best for controlling pain during shock wave treatment for kidney or ureter stones.
This trial tests a numbing injection (a 'retrolaminar block') in your back to see if it reduces pain and improves comfort during a procedure that breaks up kidney stones with sound waves (ESWL). The block is given before the procedure, and you lie on your stomach during the treatment.
This trial tests whether using a special combination of pain-relief medicines during kidney stone surgery improves your recovery and comfort afterward. It aims to reduce the need for strong opioids, which can have side effects.
This trial compares a natural anti-inflammatory supplement called PEA to a common painkiller (ibuprofen) for managing pain after a procedure that breaks up kidney stones with sound waves. The goal is to see if PEA works as well as ibuprofen but with fewer side effects.
This trial studies whether kidney-stone shockwave treatment works better when you lie on your back (supine) versus on your stomach (prone). It focuses on adults with a stone in the lower part of the urine tube (the distal ureter).
This study tests a more precise ultrasound-guided shock wave treatment for children with kidney stones. Shock waves break stones into smaller pieces that can pass in urine, and this approach may be safer and more effective by using a special tracking system.
