First seen Jan 02, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This early study looks at whether giving a single dose of Ketorolac (an anti-inflammatory) before placing a ureteral stent can reduce pain and discomfort after the procedure. About 36 adults with kidney stones who need a stent will be randomly assigned to receive the drug or a placebo. The goal is to see if this simple approach can make stent symptoms more bearable and to test if a larger study is possible.
