Filter by:Effectiveness of fasting or fasting-mimicking diet has been proved an effective approach to treat metabolic and autoimmune diseases in mice. However, clinical trials performing prolonged fasting with more than 7 days have not been reported. Investigators conduct an open label, phase I/II clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the 21-day fasting-like diet in the treatment of metabolic and autoimmune diseases.
Double blinded randomized controlled clinical trial to assess the impact of intraoperative Toradol on post-operative pain scores for patients undergoing ureteroscopy for urinary stone management.
Patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) suffer from acute postoperative pain, despite a multimodal analgesic regime. We hypothesize that active (ropivacaine) transmuscular quadratus lumborum (TQL) block will significantly reduce postoperative opioid consumption and pain following PNL operation compared with placebo (saline) TQL block. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided (USG) TQL block concurrent with a multimodal analgesic regime compared to the multimodal analgesic regime alone (and placebo TQL block) in a randomized and placebo controlled design.
The purpose of this investigation is to prospectively evaluate the benefit of different methods of educating patients regarding their fluid intake through a readily available daily cellular phone application to improve overall urine output and reduce risk factors for stone recurrence.
This is a randomized controlled trial comparing extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) with and without simultaneous adjunct controlled inversion therapy in the treatment of lower pole caliceal stone.
Tamsulosin (Flowmax)is approved by the FDA for the treatment for enlarged prostate. Several studies regarding the use of Tamsulosin for the treatment of lower kidney stones have been carried out in the non-Emergency Department setting. This study will compare Tamsulosin 0.4 mg with placebo in regards to rate and time of stone passing and will also look at amount of pain. The purpose of this study is to compare the usefulness of Tamsulosin versus placebo on time to stone passage and pain relief in Emergency Department patients with kidney stones.
An analgesia protocol for acute renal colic will lead to faster significant reductions in pain than prior practice.
The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of endoluminally administrated isoproterenol on pelvic pressure increase during flexible ureterorenoscopy in 14 humans. We propose that isoproterenol has potential of reducing intrarenal pressure during ureterorenoscopies. Lower intrarenal pressures may have the advantage of facilitating the procedure and reducing intraoperative complications as bleeding and infections.
