New combo therapy may simplify kidney stone removal
NCT ID NCT07623876
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if taking tamsulosin before surgery or using aminophylline during surgery helps doctors place a tube needed for kidney stone removal. About 322 adults with small kidney stones will be randomly assigned to receive one or both medications or placebos. The goal is to see if these drugs make the procedure easier and reduce the need for extra steps.
