Phase 2 Study of Diclofenac Suppository to Control Pain During Flexible Cystoscopy
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Diclofenac for Pain and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Flexible cystoscopy has diagnostic as well as therapeutic role in many patients presenting in urology clinic with lower urinary tract symptoms (frequency, nocturia etc) and hematuria (blood in urine). Pain associated with cystoscopy varies from patient to patient, majority requires local anesthesia or lubricant solution only. During flexible cystoscopy, lubrication, use of topical anesthesia and duration of cystoscopy are recognized as important factors contributing in severity of pain of which use of intraurethral gel left to individual preference. Various studies are available reporting the pain perception with use of various intraurethral gels. Even the highest level of evidence is unable to resolve the query. With this study the investigators hypothesize that pain perception (recorded in form of pain score) during flexible cystoscopy can be reduced with use of per operative diclofenac(Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drug)suppository in comparison to plain gel alone. With better control of pain the investigators aim to increase patient comfort and compliance which will increase the patient satisfaction rate and early return to work.
