NSAID vs. opioid: which painkiller wins after kidney stone surgery?
NCT ID NCT03888144
First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study tested whether a non-opioid painkiller (ketorolac) works as well as an opioid (oxycodone) for pain after kidney stone surgery. 81 adults who had a ureteroscopy and received a ureteral stent took part. For five days after surgery, they recorded pain scores, how many pills they took, and any stent-related symptoms. The goal was to find a safer, equally effective option for managing post-surgery pain.
