Standardized breathing control during rheumatological 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 is a randomized, single-blind, single-center non-inferiority trial comparing two approaches to managing pain and anxiety during therapeutic ultrasound-guided joint or periarticular injections. One group receives 5 cc of lidocaine before the injection plus sham breathing instructions, while the other group performs a 5-minute paced breathing exercise and receives saline instead of lidocaine. Continuous heart rate recording with the EmWave PRO device will measure cardiorespiratory variability and a cardiac coherence score during the procedure. Pain, anxiety, and patient satisfaction will be measured after infiltration using EVA scales.
