About this study

To examine whether application of lidocaine spray in cervical preparation for second trimester dilatation and evacuation alleviates pain and is superior to current protocol of preparation without analgesia and superior to placebo.

a double- blind, randomized, placebo- controlled trial, performed at a single tertiary medical center. Eligible participants aged 18 and older and about to undergo dilation \& evacuation of the uterus between 12 to 24 weeks of gestation. Participants will be randomized using computer generated allocation to receive 10% Xylocaine (lidocaine group) spray or normal saline 0.9% (placebo group), applied identically topically to the endocervix and ectocervix before laminaria insertion. The primary outcome will be the participant's reported pain score immediately after the first laminaria was inserted as measured on a 10 cm visual analog scale (VAS). Secondary outcomes wiil be reported pain scores at speculum removal, 15 minutes after speculum insertion and immediately before the D\&E procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Lidocaine in people with Pain Alleviation and Dilatation and Evacuation, run by Sheba Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 27 May 2020. 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 Israel. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Pain immediately after inserton of first laminaria (time frame: immediately after first laminaria insertion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 27 May 2020.
