New silicone stent aims to ease pain after kidney stone removal

NCT ID NCT05026710

Completed Symptom relief Sponsor: University of Michigan Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study compared two types of temporary tubes (stents) placed after surgery to remove kidney or ureteral stones. Researchers tested whether a new silicone stent causes less pain and fewer urinary problems than the standard plastic stent. The trial involved 224 patients who were randomly assigned to receive one type of stent and then tracked their recovery for about two months.
