Holmium laser lithotripsy had superior initial success and re-treatment rate compared to extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in a 2013 trial.

The age of onset shows a bimodal distribution in women, with episodes peaking at 35 and 55 years.

There is no evidence to support the use of ultrasound for the treatment of low back pain, [24] and current clinical guidelines recommend that ultrasound is not used for this condition.
