NCT ID NCT05365477
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two different approaches to prevent kidney stones in adults who have had at least two stones in the past five years. One approach used diet and medication based on each person's test results, while the other used a standard one-size-fits-all plan. The goal was to see which method better reduced stone-forming substances in urine and was easier for people to follow.
