NCT ID NCT06274333
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding dexmedetomidine or tramadol to standard paracetamol can reduce bladder discomfort caused by urinary catheters after kidney stone surgery. Sixty adults aged 20-50 will receive one of two drug combinations, and their pain and discomfort will be tracked for 24 hours after surgery. The goal is to find a better way to manage this common side effect.
