Oral analgesia by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug zaltoprofen to manage cystoscopy-related pain: A prospective study
International Journal of Urology, 09/28/09

Komiya A et al. – Pain scores with pre–emptive zaltoprofen plus lidocaine gel were significantly lower than the ones with lidocaine gel alone at the time points of inserting rigid cystoscope into the urethra, viewing inside the urinary bladder and the first urination after cystoscopy. The efficacy of zaltoprofen was more significant in the patients with higher baseline pain score. There was no correlation between pain scores and bladder cancer grading, number of tumors, and time from surgery. Pre–emptive zaltoprofen is able to control cystoscopy–associated pain, which translates into better quality of life for patients. Thus, its use is recommended in the management of these patients.
