First In Humans Clinical Trial Demonstrates Non-Invasive Expulsion of Kidney StonesLINK
Dr. Jonathan Harper said, "I am excited about presenting our findings at this year's AUA annual meeting. Not only does our ultrasound technology safely move and expel kidney stones, but also it is performed in the clinic setting without pain.
OK, I'm a bit skeptical about the "no pain" part but any step in the right direction for relief is a good thing.

The procedure is painless. The ultrasound would basically just break the stone apart so you can piss sand out instead of having the stone build pressure in your kidney.
The result won't be super comfortable and when the stone happens...you'll still know it.

No Pain solution would be great.
I lost count of how many stones I have passed years ago.
But I have only had 2 lithos and 1 basket procedure. Most of mine just require pain med, water and going to bed for awhile. Some I don't notice until they hit the bowl.
But the ones I had crushed, I wanted to cry everytime I realized it was time for me to void my bladder. I felt like I was laying slag on a highway.
