Randomized Controlled Trial
Diclofenac suppository administration in conjunction with lidocaine gel during transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy: prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled study.
To evaluate the additional analgesic efficacy of the rectal administration of diclofenac suppository compared with placebo in patients undergoing transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy. ⋯ Intrarectal diclofenac suppository administration is a simple, safe, and effective procedure to reduce pain and improve patients' tolerance of transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy. We recommend intrarectal diclofenac suppository administration, together with intrarectally administered lidocaine gel, in men undergoing transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy.
