A controlled clinical trial of two local agents in postepisiotomy pain and discomfort. 1977

P J Goldstein, and M Lipman, and J Luebehusen

Postepisiotomy pain can be an annoying complication for physicians and nurses to manage after an otherwise uneventful delivery. A controlled prospective study was conducted in 100 parturients to test the relative efficacy of two agents. Of 50 patients given a mucoadhesive foam containing a local anesthetic plus a corticosteroid, 82% reported relief of pain and discomfort and 86% demonstrated resolution of edema. Of the 50 patients using a spray containing a local anesthetic plus and antiseptic agent, 40% reported relief of pain and 30% demonstrated resolution of edema.
