Shock waves vs laser: which kidney stone treatment is better?
NCT ID NCT07261995
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two common treatments for kidney stones that are 1 to 2 centimeters in size. One treatment uses shock waves from outside the body to break up the stone, while the other uses a thin scope and laser through the urinary tract. Researchers will measure how completely the stone is cleared, pain levels, hospital stay, and side effects in 98 adults aged 18 to 65. The goal is to help patients and doctors choose the best option.
