A Randomized, Double-Blind Trial to Compare Shock Wave Frequencies of 60 and 120 Shocks per Minute for Upper Ureteral Stones
The Journal of Urology, 10/01/09

Honey RJDA et al. – Decreasing the rate of shock wave administration from 120 to 60 shocks per minute results in improved stone–free rates. A slower treatment rate of proximal ureteral stones reduces the need for additional shock wave lithotripsy or more invasive treatments to render patients stone–free, without any increase in morbidity, and with an acceptable increase in treatment time.
