Topical Lidocaine for Digital Nerve Block Pain

Sponsor: Ankara City Hospital Bilkent

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether topical lidocaine spray applied to the wound before digital nerve block can reduce injection-related pain in patients with finger lacerations. The study will also evaluate whether topical lidocaine spray affects the success of the nerve block. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does topical lidocaine spray reduce pain during digital nerve block injection? Does topical lidocaine spray improve first-pass success of the digital nerve block? Researchers will compare topical lidocaine spray with a placebo spray to determine whether lidocaine provides better pain control during the procedure. Participants will: Receive either topical lidocaine spray or placebo spray applied to the wound before the digital nerve block. Undergo a standard digital nerve block with lidocaine. Rate their pain during the procedure. Be assessed for block success, procedure duration, satisfaction, willingness to undergo the procedure again if needed, and adverse events.

Interventions

DRUG

Topical Lidocaine Spray

Two puffs of topical lidocaine spray are applied directly to the wound area. After a 2-minute waiting period, a standardized bilateral dorsal digital nerve block is performed using a total of 3 mL of 2% lidocaine.

DRUG

Placebo Spray

Two puffs of placebo spray containing peppermint essence and no lidocaine are applied directly to the wound area. After a 2-minute waiting period, the same standardized bilateral dorsal digital nerve block is performed using a total of 3 mL of 2% lidocaine.
