ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the use of a lidocaine spray to help make bladder catheterization more comfortable for patients. Bladder catheterization is a common procedure often done in emergency departments, but it can lead to pain and discomfort. The researchers believe that using lidocaine spray before the procedure could help reduce pain, making it easier for patients to go through the process. In this study, participants will be divided into two groups—one will receive the lidocaine spray, while the other will receive a placebo (which looks like the spray but has no active medication). Their pain levels will be assessed at different times during and after the procedure.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be male patients over 18 years old, who are alert and able to cooperate. They should not have any trauma or specific medical issues that could complicate the catheterization process. Throughout the study, participants can expect to be carefully monitored for their comfort levels, and the results will help determine if lidocaine spray is a good option for improving comfort during bladder catheterization. This research is important as it could lead to better experiences for patients undergoing this common procedure.
