Pioglitazone + Weight Loss for Kidney Stones
Recruiting3 awardsPhase 4

Ultrasonic Stone Propulsion for Kidney Stones
Recruiting1 award
Seattle, Washington
This trial tests using sound waves to move kidney stones in patients who have leftover fragments after treatment. The goal is to help these stones pass naturally, reducing pain and the need for further treatments. Focused ultrasound has been developed and tested for relocating and expelling kidney stones.

Prevention Strategies for Kidney Stones

Nashville, Tennessee
This trial compares two methods to prevent kidney stones in patients who have had multiple episodes. One method uses specific urine tests to guide treatment, while the other uses a general treatment approach. Both methods involve diet changes and medications to reduce stone-forming substances in the urine. Recognized medications for preventing kidney stone recurrence include thiazide diuretics, allopurinol, and potassium citrate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
