TamsulosinExtracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy5 moreThe aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of MET after ESWL in pediatric urolithiasis.
Acoustic Enhancer Research on Laser Lithotripsy (AEROLITH)
Urinary StonesA pivotal study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Applaud Acoustic Enhancer when used in conjunction with conventional ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy (URS-LL) in the treatment of subjects with urinary stones.
Antibiotic Prophylaxis With Routine Ureteral Stent Removal
UrolithiasisUTIThis study will be a single-institutional randomized, single-blinded prospectively controlled clinical trial of a single dose of Ciprofloxicin 500mg antibiotic tablet as prophylaxis at the time of office flexible cystoscopy with ureteral stent removal. The control group will be no prophylaxis oral antibiotics.

Hydroxycitrate: A Novel Therapy for Calcium Phosphate Urinary Stones
Calcium Phosphate Kidney StonesThis study tests whether hydroxycitrate, a molecule closely related to citrate, can reduce calcium phosphate stone recurrence.
sipIT2: Improving Adherence to Fluid Intake Guidelines for Kidney Stone Prevention
UrolithiasisThe purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of using sipIT tools (i.e., wrist-worn sensors, smart water bottles, mobile applications) to increase compliance with physician-recommended fluid consumption guidelines in participants with a history of urolithiasis.
Massage Percussion for Passage of Urolithiasis Fragments After Ureteroscopy.
NephrolithiasisFlexible ureteroscopy is characterized as first-line therapy for renal stones < 2 cm in size. Stones are commonly treated with dusting or fragmentation techniques which requires passage of stone fragments after surgery. Quoted stone free rate after flexible ureteroscopy is approximately 40-60% with a dusting technique. Residual fragments are often under 1mm in size and can layer in the lower pole of the kidney, complicating spontaneous stone passage. Improving the stone free rate after surgery decreases the need for secondary surgeries and decreases risk of future stone events. Numerous techniques have been proposed to increase stone passage including positional changes and percussion therapy. To date, there is overall limited data a lack of techniques that can be readily available in the outpatient setting, easily added to scheduled appointments, reproducible results and well tolerated by patients.
Prevention of Urinary Stones With Hydration
Urinary StonesA randomized clinical trial to investigate the impact of increased fluid intake and increased urine output on the recurrence rate of urinary stone disease (USD) in adults and children. The primary aim of the trial is to determine whether a multi-component program of behavioral interventions to increase fluid intake will result in reduced risk of stone disease progression over a 2-year period.
Ultrasound to Facilitate Stone Passage
Urinary StoneUrinary CalculiThis is a prospective, open-label, multi-center study to test the clinical feasibility of facilitating stone passage by the combination of breaking and repositioning stones with ultrasound, without the need for anesthesia.
