First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 3 times

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.
