First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compared two numbing medicines given via spinal injection for cystoscopy (a procedure to look inside the bladder). One hundred adults received either prilocaine or bupivacaine, plus fentanyl. The main goal was to see which drug allowed patients to recover and be discharged faster. Researchers also tracked side effects like low blood pressure, nausea, and itching.
