About this study

Official title: Is Lidocaine Useful Before Esophageal Manometry and Ambulatory pH Monitoring? A Randomized Controlled Study

A randomized controlled trial comparing esophageal manometry and ambulatory pH monitoring test tolerance in the presence versus in the absence of topical lidocaine.

Read the detailed description

Conventionally, topical nasopharyngeal anesthesia is applied to improve the tolerance of esophageal manometry and ambulatory pH monitoring. However, there is currently no data to support this practice. This randomized controlled trial of lidocaine versus placebo applied before these tests will evaluate the benefit of topical lidocaine anesthesia.

What participants receive

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

  • Saline sprayDrug

    Physiologic saline spray

  • Lidocaine HydrochlorideDrug

    Lidocaine hydrochloride 10% spray

Study groups in NCT03967197
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
LidocaineExperimentalPatients randomized to the lidocaine intervention will receive 2 sprays of lidocaine hydrochloride 10% in each nostril 3-5 minutes before their test.
Receives: Drug: Lidocaine Hydrochloride
Placebo (Saline)Placebo comparatorPatients randomized to placebo will receive 2 sprays of physiological saline in each nostril 3-5 minutes before their test.
Receives: Drug: Saline spray

What is being measured

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

  1. Presence of pain during catheter insertion

    As reported by patients on a standardized questionnaire

    Measured: Assessed once immediately after exam on patient questionnaire

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Global patient satisfaction

    As reported by patients on a standardized questionnaire (on scale of 1 to 5, 5 being highest satisfaction score)

    Measured: Assessed once immediately after exam on patient questionnaire

  2. Presence of other complications during catheter insertion

    As reported by patients on a standardized questionnaire

    Measured: Assessed once immediately after exam on patient questionnaire

  3. Presence of complications during test recording

    As reported by patients on a standardized questionnaire

    Measured: Assessed once immediately after exam on patient questionnaire

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Saline spray and Lidocaine Hydrochloride in people with Pain, Acute, run by Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) at 1 site in Canada.

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 1 inclusion and 18 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2023. 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 Canada. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Presence of pain during catheter insertion (time frame: Assessed once immediately after exam on patient questionnaire). 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 19 Jan 2023.
