Conditions
- Pain
Interventions
- 2% Lidocaine jelly
- Plain aqueous gel
Primary outcomes
- Patient's Perception of Pain Using the Wong-Baker FACES Visual Scale: 0 - no Pain; 5 - Worst Imaginable Pain — Immediately after the examination
A sterile catheter lubricated with the allocated gel was placed transurethrally into the bladder to measure the postvoid residual volume. After removal of the catheter, a cotton swab, coated with the same allocated gel, was advanced to the urethrovesical junction until resistance was felt. The angle of the swab with the horizontal plane was measured at rest and with a Valsalva maneuver. Immediately following the Q-tip test, the patient's perception of pain level was measured by Wong-Baker FACES Pain Scale, a visual scale where 0 represents no pain and 5 represents worst imaginable pain.
