First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study tested whether inhaling a pain-relief medicine called Penthrox (methoxyflurane) can help men feel less pain and anxiety during minor scrotal surgeries done with local anesthetic. Forty adult patients were randomly assigned to receive either local anesthetic alone or local anesthetic plus Penthrox. The goal was to see if the inhaler improves pain scores during the procedure and when the numbing injection is given.
