研究概览
简要总结
The investigators will assess the use of Transcutaneous Neurostimulation (TENS), a pharmacological alternative, for treatment of ureteral stent pain post-ureteroscopy. The primary aim for the investigators is to determine if use of a TENS unit will reduce post-operative pain and nausea associated with the ureteral stent. Secondary aim will be to assess if it can help minimize narcotic use.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain on 11-point Visual Analog Score Scale (VAS)
时间窗: Assessed daily until removal of stent, approximately 3-10 days after placement
Cumulative average pain score using an 11-point VAS. The VAS is a validated tool widely used to assess pain intensity. Possible score ranges: * Scale for back pain: 0 (no pain) - 10 (worst pain) * Abdominal/Groin Pain: 0 (no pain) - 10 (worst pain) * Pain Frequency: 0 (not at all) - 10 (All day or night long) * Nausea intensity: 0 (No nausea) - 10 (Worst possible nausea)
Difference in Pain on 11-point Visual Analog Score Scale (VAS)
时间窗: Assessed daily until removal of stent, approximately 3-10 days after placement
Cumulative average difference in pain score using an 11-point VAS. The VAS is a validated tool widely used to assess pain intensity. Possible score ranges: * Scale for back pain: 0 (no pain) - 10 (worst pain) * Abdominal/Groin Pain: 0 (no pain) - 10 (worst pain) * Pain Frequency: 0 (not at all) - 10 (All day or night long) * Nausea intensity: 0 (No nausea) - 10 (Worst possible nausea)
次要结局
- Total Opioid Consumption(Until stent removal (up to 10 days))
- Difference in Total Opioid Consumption(Until stent removal (up to 10 days))
- Ureteral Stent Discomfort Test (USDT) Scale Score(Assessed at removal of stent, approximately 3-10 days after placement)
