Local Anesthesia and Tuberculin Skin Test in Infants and Children

A study testing lidocaine / Prilocaine in people with Tuberculosis, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

The use of local anaesthesia efficiently reduces pain due to needle puncture. However, when tuberculin skin test is performed it is the skin reaction to tuberculin injection that is studied. It is a quantitative skin reaction measured in millimiters. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Local Anesthesia Effect on Tuberculin Skin Test Results in Infants and Children

The use of local anaesthesia efficiently reduces pain due to needle puncture. However, when tuberculin skin test is performed it is the skin reaction to tuberculin injection that is studied. It is a quantitative skin reaction measured in millimiters. From the study of literature it is not known whether local anaesthetic modify skin reaction to tuberculin. Therefore, before recommending the use local anaesthesia for tuberculin intradermal injection we have to rule out a potential effect of local anaesthetic on the result of the test. This is particularly important in children, since there are more sensitive to pain than adults

What participants receive

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

  • lidocaine / PrilocaineDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. Measurement of tuberculin skin tests reaction performed with and without

  2. local anaesthesia, in a child (intra subject reproducibility)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. influence of local anaesthesia use, on tuberculin skin test interpretation

  2. between observer reproducibility

  3. pain evaluation in child over 5 years of age between tuberculin skin tests performed with and without local anaesthesia

  4. relationship between local anaesthesia use and failure to perform a correct intradermal injection

  5. local tolerance to lidocaine / prilocaine

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing lidocaine / Prilocaine in people with Tuberculosis, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 2 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 2006. 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 France. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Nicole Beydon, MD (+33 140 032 000, nicole.beydon@rdb.aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measurement of tuberculin skin tests reaction performed with and without. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 3 Apr 2006.
