Pain relief during urethral bulking: comparing lidocaine versus saline injections

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This phase 4 study compares two pain-management approaches used during urethral bulking, a procedure to treat urine leakage with coughing or activity. Participants receive either lidocaine injected around the urethra or a saline placebo, in addition to a lidocaine jelly used inside the urethra, to see which method more effectively reduces pain during the procedure. The study aims to identify a simple, effective way to improve patient comfort while maintaining the procedure’s effectiveness. Safety monitoring will track adverse events related to injections and the bulking material. Enrollment is limited to individuals with stress urinary incontinence who meet the inclusion criteria and do not have listed contraindications.
