Study tests common painkillers to reduce opioid use after kidney stone procedures
NCT ID NCT03888144
Summary
This study compared two common pain medications—ketorolac (an NSAID like ibuprofen) and oxycodone (an opioid)—to see which worked better for pain after kidney stone surgery. Eighty-one patients who had a ureteroscopy procedure were randomly assigned to take one of the medications as needed for five days after surgery. Researchers tracked their pain levels, how much medication they used, and any side effects to help guide safer pain management choices.
