Medical therapy after shock wave lithotripsy
EU CTIS ID: 2024-510792-38-00
What this study is testing
We would like to evaluate the effect of combined alpha-blocker (Tamsulosin) and diuretic (Furosemid) in respect to clearance of stone fragments following ESWL. Our hypothesis is that a supplement of Tamsulosin along with Furosemid will increase the effectivity of the treatment. It will thereby reduce the number of ESWL treatments and will reduce pain intensity and the need for pain medication after ESWL.
