KIDNEY STONE

This study is testing a new surgical technique designed to improve a common procedure for removing kidney stones. Doctors will use special tools to hold the stone in place while breaking it up, aiming to make the surgery quicker and more effective. The study will measure how long…

This study is looking back at medical records to see how well a new kidney stone removal procedure worked for people who already had it. Researchers are reviewing data from 3000 patients across multiple hospitals who had stones removed using the CVAC System or a similar device. T…

This study is testing whether getting two shockwave treatments for kidney stones in one week works as well and is as safe as getting them three weeks apart. Researchers are enrolling 600 adults with medium-sized kidney stones (8-15mm) to compare the two timing schedules. The main…

This study is testing whether a commercial lemonade drink or a potassium citrate supplement can change the chemistry of a person's urine to make it less likely for kidney stones to form. It involves 10 adults with a history of kidney stones and specific urine test results. Partic…

This study is testing if a specific weight loss program can reduce the body's production of a chemical called oxalate, which is a main component of many kidney stones. It involves obese adults who have previously formed calcium oxalate stones. Participants follow a strict, low-ox…

This study aimed to test how well a new medical device called RetroPerc works during surgery to remove large kidney stones. The device was designed to help surgeons reach the kidney more quickly and accurately. The trial planned to measure success by how fast surgeons could acces…

This study is testing if a daily meditation practice can help patients feel less pain and anxiety before and after surgery to remove kidney stones. Researchers will enroll 50 patients aged 12 and older who are scheduled for this surgery. Half will practice a 20-minute guided medi…

This study aims to understand why people with obesity have a higher risk of developing kidney stones. Researchers will put healthy adults without a history of stones on a special low-oxalate diet to measure how much of this stone-forming substance their bodies produce internally.…

This study aims to understand how obesity influences the body's processing of oxalate, a key component of the most common type of kidney stone. Researchers are comparing people with a normal Body Mass Index (BMI) to those with obesity, all of whom have a history of calcium oxalat…

This study aimed to check if a new type of ureteral stent, placed after kidney stone procedures, causes urine to flow backward from the bladder. Researchers planned to use imaging to grade this backflow in adult patients with kidney stones. The trial was withdrawn before any part…

This study aims to learn how often small kidney stones (4mm or smaller) pass out of the body on their own within 4 to 8 weeks. Researchers will follow 1600 patients to see if factors like pain level, stone location, or blood tests can predict whether a stone will pass without sur…
