Numbing cream for pelvic pain injection comfort
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a numbing cream (lidocaine-prilocaine) applied before a levator muscle trigger point injection reduces pain during the injection for women with pelvic pain. If it works, it could make the procedure more comfortable without needing extra pain medicine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether adding sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to lidocaine injections helps reduce pain from myofascial trigger points more than lidocaine alone. It could offer longer-lasting relief for chronic muscle pain.
This study tests whether a numbing cream applied to the cervix can reduce pain during IUD insertion or endometrial biopsy. It compares the numbing cream to a placebo to see if it makes the procedure more comfortable.
This Phase 2 study tests a slow-release form of lidocaine to reduce pain after surgery that uses a pelvic incision. If you’re having a qualifying pelvic operation, the study may help see whether this medication improves postoperative pain control.
This study compares two ways of injecting pain-relieving medication into specific tender spots (trigger points) in the neck and shoulder muscles. It aims to see which approach works better for reducing long-term neck pain.
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medicine (lidocaine) into the painful area helps people with chronic, unexplained pain in the anal or perineal region. It is for patients who have not gotten relief from standard treatments and whose MRI shows no other cause.
This Phase 2 study tests whether doing a smaller number of needle “treatments” during trigger point injections works as well for myofascial pain. If you’ve tried safer treatments without success (or can’t do physical therapy), you may be eligible to help answer the best treatment approach.
