Study of pelvic floor strength after kidney stone surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have a kidney stone that is being treated with a procedure called ureteroscopy or retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS).
- You will have a ureteral stent (a small tube) placed after the surgery.
- You can read and understand Turkish and can fill out a questionnaire about your symptoms.
- You have not had surgery on your pelvic floor, do not have urinary incontinence, and do not have any nerve or bladder conditions that affect urination.

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.
This trial tests if using a special suction tube during surgery to remove kidney stones can lower the risk of infection. It is for people with small to medium-sized stones in the kidney or upper ureter.
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 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 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.
