NCT ID NCT07102771
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether adding hyaluronidase to a common numbing drug (bupivacaine) improves pain control after kidney stone surgery. 100 adults undergoing the procedure received an ultrasound-guided nerve block with or without hyaluronidase. The goal was to see if the combination reduces pain scores and improves recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- hyaluronidase added to bupivacaine
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to better pain relief after kidney stone surgery, reducing the need for strong painkillers.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with 100 patients. The results may not apply to everyone, and adding hyaluronidase might not improve pain control significantly.
