Median Effective Dose of Lidocaine for the Prevention of Pain Caused by the Injection of Propofol Formulated With Medium-/Long-chain Triglycerides

China31 participantsStarted 2018-11-16

Plain-language summary

Propofol is widely used in general anesthesia induction, but the occurrence of peripheral intravenous pain is relatively high, causing anxiety, fear and other adverse emotions in patients , aggravating the stress response, and even leading to adverse events of cardiovascular system . The use of mediate-long chain fat emulsion propofol partly reduces the incidence of injection pain but patients can still suffer from different degrees of pain. Advanced intravenous injection of lidocaine can alleviate the pain of propofol injection, but its application method and dose are controversial. It is worthy of further discussion on how to select the appropriate dose of advanced intravenous injection of lidocaine to effectively prevent the injection pain of mediate-long chain fat emulsion propofol, and simultaneously avoid the adverse reactions of intravenous lidocaine, thus improving patient satisfaction and perioperative safety. In this study, in order to provide clinical references, sequential method was used to find the median effective dose (ED50) by means of pre-intravenous injection of lidocaine to suppress pain in mediate-long chain fat emulsion propofol injection.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
