About this study

Official title: "A RCT ON CLINICAL EFFICACY OF 1% vs. 2% LIGNOCAINE IN COUGH SUPPRESSION AND PAIN RELIEF IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING FLEXIBLE BRONCHOSCOPY"

Flexible bronchoscopy is a common procedure performed by pulmonary physicians. The use of topical anesthesia, analgesia, and sedation during flexible bronchoscopy varies among physicians, institutions and geographic locations across the globe. Commonly used topical anesthetic agents before and during bronchoscopy include cocaine (4%),benzocaine (20%), tetracaine (1%), and lignocaine (1%-10%). Topical lignocaine is administered through the flexible bronchoscope in an attempt to reduce excessive coughing and patient discomfort. However, the optimal dosage and strength of topical lignocaine that should be used during fibreoptic bronchoscopy has long been a topic of controversy. In this study we compare the efficacy of 1% versus 2% lignocaine in controlling cough and pain in patients undergoing flexible bronchoscopy.

Study groups in NCT01955824
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1% lignocaineExperimentalEach patient included in study will be nebulized prior to flexible bronchoscopy with 2.5 ml of 4% lignocaine. This will be followed by spray of 2 puffs of 10% lignocaine over the posterior pharynx and vocal cords. Lignocaine jelly (2%) will be applied in the nasal cavity. Lignocaine (1%) 8ml will be administered as "spray as you go" technique through the bronchoscope over the vocal cords, carina, right and left main bronchus as aliquots of 2 ml each. Additional requirement of lignocaine will also be recorded for all the patients.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cough suppression (by Operator and Patient)

    Cough will be rated on a visual analog scale (VAS) from 0 (no cough) to 100 mm (worst cough ever)

    Measured: 15 minutes

  2. Pain control

    Pain will be assessed on Wong Baker Face rating scale

    Measured: 15 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing 1% lignocaine and 2% lignocaine in people with Lung Cancer and Tuberculosis, run by Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh at 1 site in India.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in India. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cough suppression (by Operator and Patient) (time frame: 15 minutes). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01955824, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Dec 2014.
