What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

    Also called ESWL

    Shock wave lithotripsy

  • HydrationDrug

    Also called Frusemide 20mg

    Hydration of patient with 0.5L NaCl and 20mg frusemide IV

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants Who Are Stone Free at 3 Months

    To compare the effectiveness of simultaneous adjunct controlled inversion therapy during extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) to that of ESWL alone in the treatment of lower pole caliceal stone as measured by stone-free rate(SFR)

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Inversion, Shock Wave Lithotripsy and Hydration in people with Kidney Stone, run by Monash University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Apr 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants Who Are Stone Free at 3 Months (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01852669, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Apr 2015.
