Pain During Pars Plana Vitrectomy Comparing Peribulbar Anesthesia Versus Sub-tenon Injection Plus Topical Jelly Anesthesia
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Topical lidocaine 2% jelly plus sub-tenon ropivacaine 10% injection and Peribulbar injection for Retinal Disease and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 56 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Vitreoretinal surgery has evolved to less invasive procedures, and it is used to treat a wide range of diseases. So anesthesia for vitreoretinal procedures has evolved, promoting adequate analgesia while reducing risks to the patient. In the present study two types of procedures for anesthesia during vitreoretinal surgery are evaluated regarding the pain referred by the patient during the whole procedure: peribulbar anesthesia versus sub-tenon injection plus topical jelly anesthesia. Through the comparative analysis of the pain scale of the two groups it is expected that the two modalities present the same anesthetic efficacy, showing that the methods used may be equivalent.
