Lidocaine for Syphilis
Saint Louis, MissouriThere 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. Per the International Union against Sexually Transmitted Infections (IUSTI) European Guidelines for syphilis management, lidocaine has been used as a diluent for BPG since 1998. In the United States (US), BPG often comes prepackaged and lidocaine is unable to be used as a diluent with the same ease as it is in Europe. In light of this, the investigators propose a randomized controlled trial of benzathine penicillin G with and without lidocaine to quantify any site pain reduction with lidocaine in patients being treated for syphilis.
This study is a randomized, double blinded, placebo controlled trial. During this study, patients needing BPG treatment for syphilis will be screened for any penicillin allergies and consented to their participation. Each participant will receive 2 injections of BPG, 1.2 million units each (2x1.2 million units = 2.4 million units, the standard dose for syphilis treatment), as intramuscular injections, one in each gluteal muscle, with one of the injections randomly having 0.5ml of 1% lidocaine added while the other has 0.5 ml normal saline solution. The side of each injection will be randomized by the medical assistant (MA)/nurse filling the vials and the injecting MA will be blinded, as well as the study participant, as to which vial contains lidocaine and which contains normal saline. The participants will then be asked to rate their pain from 0-10 on each site of injection at 10 minutes post injection, then again at 24 hours after injection via email electronic survey (via RedCap). The differences in pain from the two injections will be compared and analyzed to see if lidocaine reduces pain associated with BPG injections compared to the control of normal saline added to BPG.

Ketamine vs Lidocaine for Rib Fractures
Grand Rapids, MichiganRib fractures continue to be a common occurrence in trauma patients of all ages. Traumatic rib fractures can cause severe pain in patients and lead to shallow breathing and further complications such as the need for mechanical ventilation, hospital or ventilator associated pneumonia, atelectasis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Effective multimodal pain management is needed to optimize a patient's respiratory status and can also play a role in early mobility, less pulmonary complications, shorter ICU and hospital length of stay, and decreased mortality. Current multimodal pain management options include opioids, muscle relaxants, gabapentin, acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and various regional/neuraxial anesthesia techniques. Both ketamine and lidocaine infusions for pain control have also been shown in studies to be safe and effective, with the benefit of minimizing the use of opioids. However, there have been very few studies that have used ketamine or lidocaine infusions for pain control specifically in patients with traumatic rib fractures. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate ketamine versus lidocaine infusions as an adjunctive therapy to reduce opioid consumption in the first 72 hours in patients with multiple traumatic rib fractures.

Lidocaine vs Diphenhydramine for Skin Lacerations
Boynton Beach, FloridaDiphenhydramine, when injected locally, has been shown to achieve a certain level of local anesthesia. It has been documented for use in simple bedside procedures, however there is a gap in knowledge in its comparison to lidocaine. The purpose of the study is to determine if local infiltration of diphenhydramine is noninferior to the use of lidocaine 1% when trying to achieve local anesthesia for simple laceration repair. Patients who present to the emergency department with a simple laceration will be enrolled in the study. Patients will be evaluated for the pain of the injection as well as the pain of the laceration repair procedure post injection.

Buffered Lidocaine for Prostate Cancer Biopsy Pain
Seattle, WashingtonThis 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.

Lidocaine + Dexmedetomidine for Surgery Outcomes
Québec, QuebecUp to 40% of patients experience suboptimal recovery in the days following major surgery, limiting their return to functional independence. Few preventive interventions exist, but intravenous dexmedetomidine and lidocaine administered during general anesthesia represent simple strategies that may significantly impact recovery and other patient-centred outcomes after surgery. The goal of this pilot trial is to determine the feasibility of conducting a phase 3 pragmatic adaptive multicentre trial to evaluate the impact of dexmedetomidine and lidocaine administered during major non-cardiac surgery on patient-centred outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Lidocaine vs Diphenhydramine for Skin Lacerations, Lidocaine + Dexmedetomidine for Surgery Outcomes and Buffered Lidocaine for Prostate Cancer Biopsy Pain to the Power online platform.
