lidocaine and Rheumatoid Nodule

lidocaine has been researched along with Rheumatoid Nodule in 1 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.

Rheumatoid Nodule: Subcutaneous nodules seen in 20-30% of rheumatoid arthritis patients. They may arise anywhere on the body, but are most frequently found over the bony prominences. The nodules are characterized histologically by dense areas of fibrinoid necrosis with basophilic streaks and granules, surrounded by a palisade of cells, mainly fibroblasts and histiocytes.

"To determine whether injection with triamcinolon acetonide reduces the size of rheumatoid nodules, we randomized twenty patients with symptomatic nodules to either triamcinolon acetonide 40 mg/ml plus lidocaine 2% or lidocaine 1% (placebo)."5.12Corticosteroid injections reduce size of rheumatoid nodules.
