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 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 tests whether combining traditional Chinese music therapy with acupoint patches (small stickers placed on specific body points) can reduce pain and anxiety during a procedure to break up kidney stones, which is done with numbing medicine instead of general anesthesia. The goal is to see if these complementary therapies help you feel more comfortable during the procedure.
This trial tests a supplement called Neorenal Forte to help clear tiny leftover kidney stone pieces after laser surgery. If you have small fragments left after your procedure, this study may help you get rid of them.
