Study Summary

This phase I/II trial examines if buffered lidocaine reduces the pain that patients may experience during prostate biopsy. Prostate biopsies are typically performed awake, in the office, with only local anesthetic. As a result, many patients note considerable pain during these procedures. Local anesthetics such as lidocaine are typically acidic, which is thought to cause pain and burning during infiltration (injection). As a result, buffered local anesthetic has become the standard of care (SOC) in multiple specialties using awake local anesthetic. However, it has not been explored during prostate biopsies. Adminstering buffered lidocaine may reduce pain in patients undergoing prostate biopsy.

Primary Outcome

Pain associated with the injection of local anesthetic, assessed by a written questionnaire (Visual Analogue Scale, 0 \[least\] to 10 \[worst pain\]).
