Rib fractures continue to be a common occurrence in trauma patients of all ages. Traumatic rib fractures can cause severe pain in patients and lead to shallow breathing and further complications such as the need for mechanical ventilation, hospital or ventilator associated pneumonia, atelectasis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Effective multimodal pain management is needed to optimize a patient's respiratory status and can also play a role in early mobility, less pulmonary complications, shorter ICU and hospital length of stay, and decreased mortality. Current multimodal pain management options include opioids, muscle relaxants, gabapentin, acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and various regional/neuraxial anesthesia techniques. Both ketamine and lidocaine infusions for pain control have also been shown in studies to be safe and effective, with the benefit of minimizing the use of opioids. However, there have been very few studies that have used ketamine or lidocaine infusions for pain control specifically in patients with traumatic rib fractures. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate ketamine versus lidocaine infusions as an adjunctive therapy to reduce opioid consumption in the first 72 hours in patients with multiple traumatic rib fractures.

This multi-center, phase 2, randomized, single-blind, three-arm, active-controlled study is comparing repeat doses, every 28 days, of standard of care (SOC) plus ST-01 against SOC plus 1% lidocaine HCL in men experiencing chronic scrotal content pain (CSCP). The main purpose of this study is to determine if repeat injections of ST-01 are safe and effective in reducing pain. After completing a screening phase participants will be randomized into one of three groups: 1) ST-01 70 mg/mL arm, 2) ST-01 140 mg/mL arm, 3) 1% Lidocaine HCL arm (Control). Participants may receive up to 4 study treatment injections given at a minimum of 28-day intervals. Participants randomized to the Control arm will be given the opportunity to cross over to an ST-01 treatment arm after 2 study treatments.

Lidocaine for Syphilis

Saint Louis, Missouri
There is evidence to suggest that lidocaine can help reduce the pain associated with intramuscular injections of benzathine penicillin G (BPG) or Bicillin, used to treat syphilis infections. A study published in the Journal of Family Practice in 2001 compared the pain experienced during bicillin injections with and without the use of lidocaine. The study found that patients who received lidocaine injections before receiving bicillin reported significantly less pain compared to those who received bicillin injections without lidocaine. Per the International Union against Sexually Transmitted Infections (IUSTI) European Guidelines for syphilis management, lidocaine has been used as a diluent for BPG since 1998. In the United States (US), BPG often comes prepackaged and lidocaine is unable to be used as a diluent with the same ease as it is in Europe. In light of this, the investigators propose a randomized controlled trial of benzathine penicillin G with and without lidocaine to quantify any site pain reduction with lidocaine in patients being treated for syphilis. This study is a randomized, double blinded, placebo controlled trial. During this study, patients needing BPG treatment for syphilis will be screened for any penicillin allergies and consented to their participation. Each participant will receive 2 injections of BPG, 1.2 million units each (2x1.2 million units = 2.4 million units, the standard dose for syphilis treatment), as intramuscular injections, one in each gluteal muscle, with one of the injections randomly having 0.5ml of 1% lidocaine added while the other has 0.5 ml normal saline solution. The side of each injection will be randomized by the medical assistant (MA)/nurse filling the vials and the injecting MA will be blinded, as well as the study participant, as to which vial contains lidocaine and which contains normal saline. The participants will then be asked to rate their pain from 0-10 on each site of injection at 10 minutes post injection, then again at 24 hours after injection via email electronic survey (via RedCap). The differences in pain from the two injections will be compared and analyzed to see if lidocaine reduces pain associated with BPG injections compared to the control of normal saline added to BPG.

This study will be a 3-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial comparing three analgesic techniques for rib fractures with a sample size of 24 patients (8 per group). Patients will be randomly assigned to one of the following three groups: 1) ESP block with catheter using ropivacaine (bolus followed by continuous infusion); 2) lidocaine bolus (1 mg/kg) and infusion starting at 1 mg/kg/h; or 3) standard care with multimodal analgesia and opioids. Our specific aims are: 1. To compare the opioid use and pain ratings over the first 72 hours after enrollment. 2. To quantify the changes in vital capacity, oxygen requirement, and freedom from mechanical ventilation that result from the intervention. 3. To explore the impact of ESP blocks and lidocaine infusions on the development of chronic pain and post-discharge opioid use (exploratory). Inclusion Criteria: • Adult patients ≥ 55 years old who have sustained 3 or more unilateral rib fractures and are admitted to the hospital. Exclusion Criteria: * Allergy to amide local anesthetics, lidocaine, or ropivacaine * Pregnancy * Bilateral rib fractures * Coagulopathy (INR \> 1.5; PTT \> 1.5 times ULN, or platelets \< 75,000) * Conduction block on EKG * Total body weight \< 40 kg * Painful distracting injuries: acute thoracic spine fracture, severe traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury, unstable pelvic fracture, open abdomen * Spine fracture at the level of intended ESP block * Infection near the ESP insertion site or active bacteremia or sepsis * Any patient deemed a poor candidate for ESP block and/or lidocaine infusion will also be excluded

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if use of topical benzocaine prior to the injection of lidocaine is effective in decreasing pain experienced during IUD insertion in patients 18 or older. The main question it aims to answer is: Does topical use of benzocaine prior to lidocaine injection during IUD insertion effectively decrease pain experienced? Researchers will compare benzocaine/lidocaine to benzocaine/placebo, placebo/lidocaine, and placebo/placebo to see if use of benzocaine prior to lidocaine injection works more effectively to decrease pain experienced rather than lidocaine, benzocaine, or placebo use alone. Participants will: * Arrive to clinic for previously scheduled IUD insertion * Be screened, approached by research staff, and consented to join the trial * Complete a demographic questionnaire * Be randomly and blindly assigned to one of four groups * Placebo/Placebo * Placebo/Lidocaine * Benzocaine/Placebo * Benzocaine/Lidocaine * All groups will be given 600mg of ibuprofen prior to procedure * Be asked to rate their pain on a visual scale of 1-10 during several distinct points of the procedure. * Be sent an optional survey to their email after the procedure

In this research study, we want to learn more about the impact of two different local anesthetics (bupivacaine and lidocaine) on patient experience following orthognathic (jaw) surgery. Both anesthetics are within the standard of care for dental and orthognathic procedures, but can vary in how quickly they take action and how long they last. This study will provide us with a greater understanding of how anesthetic choice affect patient outcomes, and how we can strive to make these outcomes as favorable as possible.

Up to 40% of patients experience suboptimal recovery in the days following major surgery, limiting their return to functional independence. Few preventive interventions exist, but intravenous dexmedetomidine and lidocaine administered during general anesthesia represent simple strategies that may significantly impact recovery and other patient-centred outcomes after surgery. The goal of this pilot trial is to determine the feasibility of conducting a phase 3 pragmatic adaptive multicentre trial to evaluate the impact of dexmedetomidine and lidocaine administered during major non-cardiac surgery on patient-centred outcomes.

Diphenhydramine, when injected locally, has been shown to achieve a certain level of local anesthesia. It has been documented for use in simple bedside procedures, however there is a gap in knowledge in its comparison to lidocaine. The purpose of the study is to determine if local infiltration of diphenhydramine is noninferior to the use of lidocaine 1% when trying to achieve local anesthesia for simple laceration repair. Patients who present to the emergency department with a simple laceration will be enrolled in the study. Patients will be evaluated for the pain of the injection as well as the pain of the laceration repair procedure post injection.

The R61 will perform a four-part double-blind randomized crossover study transitioning from a pretreatment baseline phase, to randomized treatment with either lidocaine or an identical placebo patch, washout, and alternate arm. DLss measures will be obtained before and after each phase. Twice daily report of pain using a visual analogue scale will track severity of ongoing spontaneous pain in participants. The hybrid biomarker will distinguish between placebo and active treatment arms, will significantly correlate with extent of neuropathic pain reduction during lidocaine, but will not change during the placebo phase or no-treatment lead-in. If preset Go/No-Go criteria are met, the subsequent R33 validation will then compare lidocaine patch and placebo treatment in a blinded, randomized parallel arm study.

Recent claims report that reading ability is partially dependent on speech production. While the evidence for this claim is compelling, it is not known to what extent, the speech production system contributes to successful reading performance in adult populations with dyslexia. One direct way to determine the influence of speech production feedback on reading performance is to measure reading performance in adults with dyslexia with an added motor component (i.e., sucking on a lollipop, holding a bite bar or numbing their oral mucosa with lidocaine). To adults with and without dyslexia 18 years of age and older (60 in total; 30 in each group), three experimental tasks will be administered under four conditions (no motor task, lollipop, bite bar and lidocaine). The first task asks whether the letter string being presented is a word or a nonword. Secondly, a motor sequencing task will be administered where adults will be asked to label pictures. For all tasks, the accuracy and speed of responses will be measured by a computer while participants wear a fNIRS cap.

The goal of this research study is to learn more about how different uses of a numbing medication might affect pain levels while getting an IUD placed. The investigators are also studying participants opinions of their clinicians' empathy. The investigators are inviting patients who arrive at their clinic visit seeking an IUD. Usually, at University of California, San Diego (UCSD), for patients who have never delivered a baby, clinicians use a buffered paracervical block for before IUD placement. The purpose of this research study is to investigate whether a "buffered" (2 cc of sodium bicarbonate, 18 cc of 1% lidocaine) paracervical block (numbing medication given on both sides of the cervix) is effective in reducing pain during IUD placement in individuals with prior C-sections, the difference between buffered and unbuffered for nulliparous patients, and whether a medicated gel reduces pain with the paracervical block.

This phase I/II trial examines if buffered lidocaine reduces the pain that patients may experience during prostate biopsy. Prostate biopsies are typically performed awake, in the office, with only local anesthetic. As a result, many patients note considerable pain during these procedures. Local anesthetics such as lidocaine are typically acidic, which is thought to cause pain and burning during infiltration (injection). As a result, buffered local anesthetic has become the standard of care (SOC) in multiple specialties using awake local anesthetic. However, it has not been explored during prostate biopsies. Adminstering buffered lidocaine may reduce pain in patients undergoing prostate biopsy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Lidocaine for Spinal Diseases, Lidocaine + Dexmedetomidine for Surgery Outcomes and Lidocaine vs Diphenhydramine for Skin Lacerations to the Power online platform.
