NCT ID NCT07405502

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a device called TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) can reduce pain, nausea, and vomiting after kidney stone surgery. Researchers will compare 36 patients who receive TENS with 36 who do not, tracking their recovery over the first 24 hours. The goal is to see if this non-drug approach improves comfort and quality of recovery.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a drug-free way to manage pain and nausea after kidney stone surgery, potentially reducing reliance on medications.

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 72 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. TENS may not work for all patients or could cause skin irritation.
