Comparing ureteral stent designs in children with kidney stones
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 8 and 18 years old.
- Your child needs two separate stent placements as part of their standard kidney stone treatment.
- The stent will stay in place for about 4 to 6 weeks each time.
- Your child must be in good general health (classified as ASA I or II).
- You and your child must be able to answer study questionnaires in English.
- Your child cannot have an active urinary tract infection, significant bladder problems, or be allergic to the stent materials.
- Only one kidney will be treated at a time (no bilateral stents).

This trial compares two types of temporary drainage tubes (stents) placed in the ureter—the tube that carries urine from kidney to bladder—after surgery to remove kidney or ureteral stones. The study measures which stent causes fewer uncomfortable symptoms during the 2-week recovery period.
This study compares two types of ureteral access sheaths used during flexible ureterorenoscopy, a minimally invasive procedure to remove kidney stones smaller than 2 cm in children. The goal is to see which tool works better and is safer for your child.
This study compares whether a special anti-reflux stent causes fewer symptoms than a standard DJ stent in children treated for kidney stones. The goal is to find which stent is more comfortable and has fewer side effects.
This trial is testing a new type of temporary tube (stent) that dissolves on its own after being placed in the ureter following kidney stone surgery. It looks at how safe and well the stent works to keep the ureter open while healing.
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.
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.
