New anesthesia drug aims to make kidney stone surgery less painful

NCT ID NCT07659132

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study compares a newer anesthesia drug, fospropofol disodium, with the standard drug propofol for people undergoing ureteroscopy (a procedure to remove kidney stones). About 190 adults will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two drugs during surgery. The main goal is to see which drug leads to higher patient satisfaction 24 hours after the procedure, and to check for side effects like injection pain or heart issues.

What this could lead to

If fospropofol works better, it could offer a smoother anesthesia experience with less injection pain for people having ureteroscopy.
