Brief Summary:
While recommended pre-anesthesia for polyacylamide hydrogel (PAHG, Bulkamid) injections for stress urinary incontinence and intrinsic sphincter deficiency can include intraurethral anesthetic gel with or without periurethral block, there is no existing literature to guide choice of anesthesia. This is a single-blinded randomized control trial to evaluate post-procedure pain with choice of anesthesia before PAHG injection.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Stress Urinary Incontinence Intrinsic Sphincter Deficiency Procedure: Topical lidocaine Procedure: EMLA cream Procedure: Periurethral block Not Applicable

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Topical anesthesia alone
2.5% EMLA cream + intraurethral 2% lidocaine gel for 15 min
Procedure: Topical lidocaine
Topical anesthetic
Other Name: Intraurethral 2% lidocaine gel

Procedure: EMLA cream
Topical anesthetic
Other Name: 2.5%/2.5% EMLA (eutectic mixture of local anesthetics) cream

Active Comparator: Topical anesthesia with periurethral block

2.5% EMLA cream + intraurethral 2% lidocaine gel for 15 min

+ periurethral block (5 cc 1% lidocaine or 0.25% bupivacaine at 3 and 9 o'clock to depth of 1.5 cm using 25G needle)

Block sits for 5 min if lidocaine, 10 min if bupivacaine

Procedure: Topical lidocaine
Topical anesthetic
Other Name: Intraurethral 2% lidocaine gel

Procedure: EMLA cream
Topical anesthetic
Other Name: 2.5%/2.5% EMLA (eutectic mixture of local anesthetics) cream

Procedure: Periurethral block
5 cc 1% lidocaine or 0.25% bupivacaine at 3 and 9 o'clock (periurethral tissues) to depth of 1.5 cm using 25G needle
Other Name: 1% lidocaine or 0.25% bupivacaine




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Visual analog scale (VAS) for pain [ Time Frame: Ascertained at end of procedure (withdrawal of cystoscope) ]
    Visual analog scale for pain uses a scale from 0-10 corresponding to reported pain levels with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating most severe pain possible


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Duration of procedure [ Time Frame: Ascertained at end of procedure (within 5 minutes of withdrawal of cystoscope) ]
    in seconds

  2. Incomplete bladder emptying [ Time Frame: Ascertained on day-of-procedure (within 1 hour of withdrawal of cystoscope) ]
    Inability to void after procedure

  3. Need for re-injection of PAHG [ Time Frame: Assessed at follow-up 2 weeks post-procedure ]
    Requirement for "top-off" or repeat injection due to persistent symptoms

  4. International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence (ICIQ-UI) [ Time Frame: Assessed at baseline and at two-week and twelve-week follow-up visit ]
    3 items on frequency/quantity of leakage and impact on quality on life (range 0-21 with lower score indicating lower severity of incontinence symptoms and higher score indicating higher severity of incontinence symptoms)

  5. Patient Global Impression of Improvement scale (PGI-I) [ Time Frame: Assessed at two-week and twelve-week follow-up visit ]
    1 item on relative change in symptoms following treatment (range 1-7 with lower score indicating greater improvement in incontinence symptoms following intervention and higher score indicating lower improvement in incontinence following intervention)
