Local dermal application of a compound lidocaine cream in pain management of cancer wounds

Abstract: The aim of this study was to explore the analgesic effect of local application of compound lidocaine/prilocaine cream on cancer wounds during wound care in order to reduce the amount of morphine intake or completely replace the systemic morphine administration and optimize the protocol for cancer wound pain management. All patients were enrolled with a visual analog scale (VAS) pain score ≥4. Before wound care, 60 patients were randomly divided into 2 groups of 30 each: morphine group (10 mg tablet); topical 5… Show more

“…Compound lidocaine cream contains lidocaine and procaine. Lidocaine is a short-acting local anesthetic with fast onset; procaine has a long duration of efficacy and is the drug with the longest duration of efficacy in local anesthetics [ 22 ]. Therefore, compound lidocaine cream has the characteristics of fast onset and long maintenance time.…”

“…Compound lidocaine cream is made from the mixture of 2.5% lidocaine and 2.5% procaine. It belongs to the amide class of local anesthetics, which has the characteristics of strong penetrability and non‐irritant, and the local dosage is small and without adverse effect on the body 8 . It takes at least 45 minutes for compound lidocaine cream to produce anesthesia effect on the non‐destructive skin surface, and the analgesic effect can be maintained for 30 min after indwelling for 90 min 9 .…”

“…Previous studies lacked a quantitative assessment of RD. In our study, RD was defined at W1 as follows: 1) patients still had dizziness or imbalance without positional vertigo or nystagmus, as determined by positional-evoked maneuvers; 2) VAS score for dizziness was greater than 1 point ( 21 ). Patients without RD were defined as Group A.…”
