Objective: This research was conducted as a randomized controlled, double-blind experimental study to determine the effect of topical lidocaine and benzocaine on patient's pain and injection satisfaction before peripheral intravenous catheter application.

Study Design: The study was completed with 120 individuals who were treated in the green area of a University Hospital Emergency Service and met the inclusion criteria of the study. Ethics committee approval, Turkey Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency clinical research permission, institutional permission and written informed consent from individuals were obtained in the study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Lidocaine SprayDrug

    Individuals who met the research criteria and signed the informed consent form were numbered according to the order in which they came to the hospital. Later, the numbered individuals were assigned to the study groups according to the randomization list created in the computer environment.

    Lidocaine Spray was applied 60 seconds before to the area where the peripheral intravenous catheter application of the patients in the Experiment I Group (Lidocaine Spray) will be performed. After waiting 60 seconds, peripheral intravenous catheter application was performed.

    The nurse responsible for data collection measured blood pressure, pulse rate and peripheral oxygen saturation values 5 minutes before and just after the application with a finger-type pulse oximeter.

    After performing peripheral intravenous catheterization, the pain level felt by the individual during the procedure and the injection satisfaction level values were taken and recorded on the Case Report Form by the nurse.

  • Benzokain SpreyDrug

    Individuals who met the research criteria and signed the informed consent form were numbered according to the order in which they came to the hospital. Later, the numbered individuals were assigned to the study groups according to the randomization list created in the computer environment.

    Benzocaine Spray was applied 60 seconds before to the area where the peripheral intravenous catheter will be applied to the patients in the Experiment II Group (Benzocaine Spray). After waiting 60 seconds, peripheral intravenous catheter application was performed.

    The nurse responsible for data collection measured blood pressure, pulse rate and peripheral oxygen saturation values 5 minutes before and just after the application with a finger-type pulse oximeter.

    After performing peripheral intravenous catheterization, the pain level felt by the individual during the procedure and the injection satisfaction level values were taken and recorded on the Case Report Form by the nurse.

  • AlcoholOther

    Individuals who met the research criteria and signed the informed consent form were numbered according to the order in which they came to the hospital. Later, the numbered individuals were assigned to the study groups according to the randomization list created in the computer environment.

    In patients in the placebo group, alcohol was sprayed 60 seconds before the area where the peripheral intravenous catheter will be applied. After waiting 60 seconds, peripheral intravenous catheter application was performed.

    The nurse responsible for data collection measured blood pressure, pulse rate and peripheral oxygen saturation values 5 minutes before and just after the application with a finger-type pulse oximeter.

    After performing peripheral intravenous catheterization, the pain level felt by the individual during the procedure and the injection satisfaction level values were taken and recorded on the Case Report Form by the nurse.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain level (Visual Analog Scale)

    Visual Analog Scale is a scale used to measure the severity of pain. It is used to numerically convert the pain value that cannot be measured numerically. The two end definitions of the pain parameter are written on both ends of a 100 mm line and the patient is asked to indicate where his condition is appropriate by drawing a line, placing a dot or marking on this line. It is a 100 mm (10 cm) ruler that can be used horizontally and vertically, with painlessness on one end and the most severe pain on the other. "0 mm" means painlessness, "100 mm" means the most severe pain. The individual indicates the severity of the pain he feels on this scale. In line with these data, horizontally prepared Visual Analog Scale was used in this study to determine the severity of pain felt by patients during peripheral IV catheter injection. Pain severity score measurements were evaluated in mm.

    Measured: Evaluation was made immediately after application.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Injection Satisfaction Scale

    It is a scale created to determine the satisfaction status of patients due to injection after peripheral IV catheter injection. The two tip definitions of the injection satisfaction parameter are written on both ends of a 100 mm line and the patient is asked to indicate where his condition is appropriate by drawing a line, point or mark on this line. It is a 100 mm (10 cm) ruler that can be used horizontally and vertically, with one end saying "I'm not satisfied at all, but very satisfied" on the other. "0mm" means not satisfied at all, "100mm" means very satisfied. The individual determines the degree of satisfaction with the injection felt on this scale. In line with the above findings, horizontally prepared Injection Satisfaction Scale was used in this study to determine the injection satisfaction levels of patients due to peripheral intravenous catheter injection application. Injection satisfaction levels score measurements were evaluated in mm.

    Measured: Evaluation was made immediately after application.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Lidocaine Spray, Benzokain Sprey and Alcohol in people with Peripheral Intravenous Catheterization Application, run by TC Erciyes University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 16 inclusion and 8 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 26 Apr 2021. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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 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?

Pain level (Visual Analog Scale) (time frame: Evaluation was made immediately after application.). 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 26 Apr 2021.
