This study focuses on treating patients with kidney stones who have undergone shock wave lithotripsy, a procedure that breaks down stones into smaller fragments. The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combining two medications: tamsulosin (a medication that relaxes certain muscles in the urinary system) and furosemide (a water pill that increases urine production) to help remove stone fragments after the procedure.
The treatment involves taking oral medications for four weeks after the stone-breaking procedure. During this time, patients will receive either a combination of tamsulosin and furosemide, or standard pain relief medications including ibuprofen and paracetamol. The study will monitor how well the stones are cleared from the urinary system and assess the level of pain experienced by patients.
The research will use special imaging techniques to check if the stone fragments have been successfully cleared from the kidney and urinary tract. The success of the treatment will be determined by the absence of stones or the presence of only very small fragments (less than 3 millimeters in size) after four weeks of treatment. The study will also track how much pain medication patients need during and after the procedure.
