Comparison of oxybuprocaine and lidocaine topical anesthesia for pain control in radiofrequency ablation treatment of great saphenous vein insufficiency

“…Topical anesthetic has been used for years and can provide pain control for the repair of skin lacerations [ 8 ] and cataract surgery. [ 9 ] The main indications include superficial surgery or endoscopic examination of skin surface, eyes, nose, throat, trachea, urethra and other mucous membrane surfaces.…”

Topical Pain Management: An Updated Review of Current Evidence and Emerging Strategies

“…Such preparations are typically used in the treatment of acute pain. A topically applied drug containing lidocaine and prilocaine reduces pain symptoms arising from cuts and lacerations, and also effectively relieves pain caused by venous leg ulcers [84,85]. While the 5% lidocaine patch is a cornerstone of topical neuropathic pain management-largely due to its minimal systemic absorption (approximately 6%) and a highly favorable safety profile restricted primarily to mild local skin reactions [86]-the methodological robustness of the supporting evidence varies significantly across clinical indications.…”

Analysis of side effects of local anesthetics and identification of ways to minimize them

“…According to the data of 12 systematic reviews, it was determined that the most serious SEs of LAs include motor excitement, tremors, convulsions, headache, impaired breathing and heart function (tachycardia, bradycardia, decrease or increase in blood pressure, etc.) [16][17][18][19]. At present, lidocaine and bupivacaine remain the most popular drugs for anesthesia.…”
