Ureteral Stent Symptoms and Proper Stent Length Study
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at how uncomfortable or bothersome ureteral stents (small tubes placed in the urinary tract after kidney stone treatment) can be, and whether using imaging to pick the right stent length reduces symptoms. You'll answer questions about any stent-related discomfort you experience.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–80 years old
- Have a kidney stone that needs ureteroscopic surgery (minimally invasive scope procedure) with stent placement
- CT imaging confirms upper urinary tract kidney stone
- No active urinary tract infection before surgery
- No ureteral stent placed in the past 31 days

This trial is testing three different medicines to see if they can reduce common symptoms like pain and frequent urination caused by a ureteral stent placed after kidney stone surgery. If you are between 19 and 80 years old and had a stent placed during ureteroscopy, you may be able to join.
This study compares whether the size of the stent and the sheath used during kidney stone surgery affects how much pain you feel afterward. If you are having a stone removal procedure and will get a stent with a string, you may be able to join.
This study looks at whether leaving a small tube (ureteral stent) in place after bladder removal helps recovery. It compares people who get a stent to those who don't, focusing on problems like leaks or infections after surgery.
This trial compares two types of ureteral stents (small tubes that help urine drain from the kidney to the bladder) in children having surgery for kidney stones. The goal is to see which type causes fewer symptoms like pain or discomfort.
This study compares a regular double J stent with a newer Comfi J stent to see which causes fewer symptoms after ureteroscopy for kidney stones. It may help patients who need a temporary stent choose one with less discomfort.
This study compares four types of ureteral stents to see which causes the fewest side effects after kidney stone treatment. If you have a stent placed after stone surgery, your symptoms will be tracked to help find the best option.
