Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if CBD oil has any effect on decreasing postoperative pain control following ureteroscopy for urinary stone disease, and to determine if CBD oil has any effect in decreasing the amount of postoperative opioids (commonly used drug) used by patients after undergoing ureteroscopy for urinary stone disease.
Interventions
The product is a liquid formulation that will be prescribed at a dosage of 20 mg per day for a total of 3 days.
The product is a liquid formulation placebo that will be prescribed at an equivalent volume as active drug for 3 days

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Pain Intensity Score | postoperative Day 3 | Patient self-reported maximum pain intensity score measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) rated from 0-10, where 0 was no pain and 10 was the worst pain imaginable. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Postoperative Rescue Narcotic Use | postoperative Day 3 | The number of subjects who required rescue narcotic use post ureteroscopy |
| Total Urinary Symptoms Score | postoperative day 1 and postoperative day 3 | Patient self-reported urinary symptoms measured by the Ureteric Stent Symptoms Questionnaire (USSQ) urinary symptoms section. Following insertion of the stents, subjects were asked to answer 11 questions regarding their urinary symptoms. 9 questions used a score of 1 to 5, where 1 was never and 5 was all of the time. 1 question used a score of 1 to 4, where 1 was do not see any blood and 4 was urine is heavily blood stained. 1 question used a score of 1 to 7, where 1 was delighted and 7 was terrible. Total sum of all 11 questions for a total score ranging from 11 - 56, lower scores reflected fewer symptoms and higher satisfaction where higher scores reflected more symptoms and less satisfaction. |
| The Number of Subjects With Adverse Events | 3 days post-ureteroscopy | The count of subjects who experienced adverse events |
