Numbing catheter tested to ease agony of kidney stone surgery

NCT ID NCT05121168

Summary

This study tested if leaving a numbing catheter in place for two days after kidney stone surgery works better than a standard one-time numbing shot. Fifty adults having the surgery were randomly assigned to receive either real numbing medicine or a placebo (salt water) through the catheter after they went home. Researchers measured if the continuous numbing reduced pain levels and the need for opioid painkillers in the days following the operation.
