AI Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of using oral naproxen and cervical lidocaine spray together during hysterosalpingography (HSG) compared to using each treatment separately.
- The research involved 240 patients divided into four groups: one received only lidocaine, another only naproxen, a third received both, and the last served as a control group.
- Results showed that both naproxen alone and the combined treatment significantly reduced pain at all stages of HSG, while lidocaine spray was only effective during cervical instrumentation and did not provide additional benefits over naproxen alone.
Article Abstract
Objective: This study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of the combined use of oral naproxen and cervical lidocaine spray during hysterosalpingography (HSG) compared to the use of oral naproxen or cervical lidocaine spray alone. Materials and Methods: This prospective randomised controlled study was carried out using a total of 240 patients who were randomly assigned to four groups. Group 1 received cervical lidocaine spray only, Group 2 received oral naproxen only, Group 3 received cervical lidocaine spray and naproxen tablet, whereas Group 4 was the control group. A visual analogue scale was used for subjective pain assessment at three pre-defined steps.
Results: The mean pain scores of the patients in each of the four groups are Group 1 (3.6 ± 2.0, 5.1 ± 1.8, 5.8 ± 2.2); Group 2 (2.7 ± 1.4, 3.6 ± 2.0 and 3.9 ± 1.9); Group 3 (2.8 ± 1.5, 3.4 ± 2.0 and 4.2 ± 2.3); Group 4 (4.7 ± 1.7, 5.9 ± 1.7 and 5.3 ± 1.7) at T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Pain perception was statistically significantly reduced by naproxen and combined naproxen plus lidocaine spray at all the stages of HSG while cervical lidocaine spray had a statistically significant reduction in pain perception only during cervical instrumentation.
Conclusion: Oral naproxen and combined naproxen plus cervical lidocaine spray were effective in reducing HSG-associated pain during all the stages of HSG. However, combined oral naproxen and lidocaine spray did not show superior efficacy over oral naproxen alone. Cervical lidocaine spray was not an effective method.

Purpose: We conducted a prospective, real-world study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of balanced propofol sedation (BPS) in bronchoscopy and identify an advantageous sedation regimen for such procedures.
Patients And Methods: The participants were placed in four groups based on their sedation regimen (exposure factor): the M-S group (midazolam + sufentanil for traditional sedation), R-S group (remimazolam + sufentanil for traditional sedation), M-S-P group (midazolam + sufentanil + propofol for BPS), and R-S-P group (remimazolam + sufentanil + propofol for BPS). The primary outcomes included satisfaction metrics (satisfaction of the patients, endoscopic physicians, and nurses) and follow-up questionnaires.

Background: Coughing and other distress during bronchoscopy are undesirable for both patients and bronchoscopists. The efficacy of local anesthetics administered via aerosol sprays in the airways has been documented; however, the optimal administration method remains unclear. Furthermore, the efficacy of continuous salivary aspiration in reducing cough and other distress has not yet been evaluated.

Aim: This prospective, randomized, observational study aimed to compare the efficacy of intrauterine lidocaine, oral dexketoprofen, cervical lidocaine spray, and paracervical block with prilocaine for pain management during outpatient endometrial biopsy (EMB).
Methods: One hundred ninety-seven women aged 18-75 undergoing EMB were randomly assigned to one of four groups: intrauterine lidocaine (n = 49), oral dexketoprofen (n = 48), cervical lidocaine spray (n = 50), or paracervical block with prilocaine (n = 50). Pain intensity was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS) immediately post-procedure and at 30 min, with additional analgesia needs recorded at 60 min.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of oral premedication with ibuprofen on the anesthetic efficacy of inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) using 2% lignocaine and 1:100000 epinephrine in tobacco-chewing (TC) and non-tobacco-chewing (NTC) patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (SIP) during nonsurgical endodontic intervention (NEI).
Methods: This multicenter, prospective, double-blind, two-arm parallel-group randomized controlled trial involving 160 patients was conducted for a period of 9 months. The patients were classified into the study (TC patients) and control (NTC patients) groups, which were subdivided into two subgroups 1 hour before the procedure based on oral premedication with tab ibuprofen 600 mg.
