LIMIT Trial - Lidocaine With Intramuscular Injection of Benzathine Penicillin G for Treponema Pallidum Treatment
NCT06391125
This study is recruiting at 1 US site in 1 state, according to its ClinicalTrials.gov record last updated .
Summary
There is evidence to suggest that lidocaine can help reduce the pain associated with intramuscular injections of benzathine penicillin G (BPG) or Bicillin, used to treat syphilis infections. A study published in the Journal of Family Practice in 2001 compared the pain experienced during bicillin injections with and without the use of lidocaine. The study found that patients who received lidocaine injections before receiving bicillin reported significantly less pain compared to those who received bicillin injections without lidocaine.
