Sleep aid and bladder drug tested to ease stent discomfort
NCT ID NCT07617922
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares melatonin, solifenacin, and their combination to reduce bothersome urinary symptoms and pain caused by a temporary ureteral stent placed after kidney stone surgery. About 189 adults will take one of the two drugs or both for 14 days. The goal is to see which approach improves quality of life and sleep the most.
