lidocaine and Leg Ulcer

lidocaine has been researched along with Leg Ulcer in 24 studies

Lidocaine: A local anesthetic and cardiac depressant used as an antiarrhythmia agent. Its actions are more intense and its effects more prolonged than those of PROCAINE but its duration of action is shorter than that of BUPIVACAINE or PRILOCAINE.
lidocaine : The monocarboxylic acid amide resulting from the formal condensation of N,N-diethylglycine with 2,6-dimethylaniline.

Leg Ulcer: Ulceration of the skin and underlying structures of the lower extremity. About 90% of the cases are due to venous insufficiency (VARICOSE ULCER), 5% to arterial disease, and the remaining 5% to other causes.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The main objective of this study was to compare the respective analgesic effect of nitrous oxide oxygen mixture (NOOM) inhalation and lidocaïne-prilocaïne cream (LPC) application during the mechanical repeated debridement of chronic arterial and venous leg ulcers."9.15Management of pain associated with debridement of leg ulcers: a randomized, multicentre, pilot study comparing nitrous oxide-oxygen mixture inhalation and lidocaïne-prilocaïne cream. ( Aubin, F; Boye, T; Claeys, A; Gaudy-Marqueste, C; Grob, JJ; Pauly, V; Pelletier, F; Richard, MA; Schmutz, JL; Truchetet, F, 2011)
"Although the lignocaine (lidocaine)-prilocaine cream EMLA has been extensively studied for the relief of acute treatment-related pain from sharp leg ulcer debridement, no data exist on systemic absorption from prolonged application in patients with chronically painful ulcers."9.09Plasma concentrations of lignocaine and prilocaine after a 24-h application of analgesic cream (EMLA) to leg ulcers. ( Lillieborg, S; Stymne, B, 2001)
"Plasma concentrations of lidocaine and prilocaine were assessed in 8 patients after the application of 8-10 g EMLA 2% cream for 60 min to leg ulcers measuring 31-80 cm2."9.06Plasma concentrations and analgesic effect of EMLA (lidocaine/prilocaine) cream for the cleansing of leg ulcers. ( Enander Malmros, I; Lillieborg, S; Nilsen, T, 1990)
"The pain was rated by each patient on a 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS)."6.69Lidocaine-prilocaine cream (EMLA Cream) as a topical anaesthetic for the cleansing of leg ulcers. The effect of length of application time. ( Holst, RG; Kristofferson, A, 1998)
"Pain was assessed according to a verbal rating scale and on a 100 mm visual analogue scale."6.67Pain control in the surgical debridement of leg ulcers by the use of a topical lidocaine--prilocaine cream, EMLA. ( Andrén, B; Grafford, K; Holm, J, 1990)
"This multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study assessed the efficacy and safety of using Emla (lignocaine/prilocaine) anaesthetic cream to achieve pain control during sharp debridement of chronic leg ulcers of arterial, venous or arteriovenous aetiology."5.09Using a topical anaesthetic cream to reduce pain during sharp debridement of chronic leg ulcers. ( Baxter, M; Gottschalk, R; Lycka, B; Murphy, F; Nevin, K; Rosenthal, D, 2001)
"Although the lignocaine (lidocaine)-prilocaine cream EMLA has been extensively studied for the relief of acute treatment-related pain from sharp leg ulcer debridement, no data exist on systemic absorption from prolonged application in patients with chronically painful ulcers."5.09Plasma concentrations of lignocaine and prilocaine after a 24-h application of analgesic cream (EMLA) to leg ulcers.

( Enander Malmros, I; Lillieborg, S; Nilsen, T, 1990)
"Two trials (470 participants with venous leg ulcers) evaluated ibuprofen slow-release foam dressings for persistent venous leg ulcer pain."4.88Topical agents or dressings for pain in venous leg ulcers. ( Briggs, M; Martyn-St James, M; Nelson, EA, 2012)
"There is no evidence that ibuprofen dressings offer pain relief, as measured at the first evening of use, to people with painful venous leg ulcers compared with foam dressings or best practice."4.86Topical agents or dressings for pain in venous leg ulcers. ( Briggs, M; Nelson, EA, 2010)
"The pain was rated by each patient on a 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS)."2.69Lidocaine-prilocaine cream (EMLA Cream) as a topical anaesthetic for the cleansing of leg ulcers. The effect of length of application time. ( Holst, RG; Kristofferson, A, 1998)

"Pain was defined as either persistent pain or pain at dressing changes or debridement."2.42Topical agents or dressings for pain in venous leg ulcers. ( Briggs, M; Nelson, EA, 2003)
"Pain was defined as either persistent pain or pain at dressing changes or debridement."2.41Topical agents or dressings for pain in venous leg ulcers. ( Briggs, M; Nelson, EA, 2000)
