Comparing anesthetic doses for bladder scope procedures
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests two different doses of a spinal anesthetic (numbing medicine injected in the lower back) during a bladder scope procedure. Researchers want to see which dose keeps your blood pressure and heart rate more stable during the surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- Your overall health is good to fair (ASA status I or II, meaning no serious ongoing medical conditions)
- You are scheduled for an elective (planned, non-emergency) cystoscopy (bladder scope procedure)
- You are willing to receive spinal anesthesia (numbing injection in the lower back)
- You do not have a bleeding disorder, infection at the injection site, or severe heart, liver, or kidney disease
- You are not allergic to bupivacaine (the anesthetic used in the trial)

This study compares a lower dose of the spinal anesthesia drug bupivacaine to the standard dose in people 65 and older who are having planned leg surgery. The goal is to see if a lower dose works just as well with fewer side effects.
This study compares two patient positions (lying on your side or sitting up) during spinal anesthesia for urogenital surgery. It aims to find the smallest effective dose of the numbing medicine bupivacaine while keeping your blood pressure stable.
This trial compares two forms of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) given through a spinal shot before a planned C-section. It aims to see which one causes less of a drop in blood pressure after the medicine is given.
This trial compares two ways of giving spinal anesthesia for lower limb surgeries: one based on your height and one based on a standard dose. It aims to find which method is more effective and safer for patients.
This trial tests if using 20% less of a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) during a C-section can reduce the chance of the spinal block going too high. This may lower risks and improve safety for mothers.
This study compares how a common numbing medication (bupivacaine) affects your heart rate and blood pressure when given as a spinal injection before surgery. Researchers want to understand these effects better to keep patients safer during procedures.
