Completed
Conditions
Ureter Stones
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01952314
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

This study is to investigate whether naftopidil is effective or not for the spontaneous passage of ureteral stones with sizes of 3 to 10 mm.

Detailed Description

1. Enrollment

1. patients with ureteral stones of sizes from 3 to 10 mm

2. patients aged more than 18 years

2. Randomization

1. naftopidil 75 mg qd for 14 days or placebo

2. Standard treatment with pain-killers were also applied.(aceclofenac)

3. Follow-up for 28 days

1. We confirm the stone free status by CT or X-ray films at 14th and 28th days.

2. Rates of active treatment will be also evaluated.
