Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Analog Pain Scale, 0 - 10 rating of pain - Stent insertion Day 1
The Analog Pain Scale is a patient reported scale from 0-10 that will be administered after standard surgical procedure of ureteroscopy with or without laser lithotripsy and/or stone extraction). The Analog Pain Scale uses 0 (zero) to describe no pain and 10 will reference worst pain.
Analog Pain Scale, 0 - 10 rating of pain - Stent removal
The Analog Pain Scale is a patient reported scale from 0-10 that will be administered during the stent removal visit. The Analog Pain Scale uses 0 (zero) to describe no pain and 10 will reference worst pain.
Analog Pain Scale, 0 - 10 rating of pain - Follow-up Visit
The Analog Pain Scale is a patient reported scale from 0-10 that will be administered during follow up visit. The Analog Pain Scale uses 0 (zero) to describe no pain and 10 will reference worst pain.
