Summary
Although pain is a common complication of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), management
strategies are inadequate. bupivacaine is used for visceral pain control in chronic pain and
in pain associated with surgery in clinical practice. Further, triamcinolone, a type of
steroid, is often mixed with bupivacaine to lengthen the analgesic effect. The aim of this
study was to evaluate the efficacy of topical bupivacaine and triamcinolone acetonide for
abdominal pain relief and as a potential method of pain control after ESD for gastric
neoplasia. We hypothesized that topical bupivacaine and/or triamcinolone acetonide injection
after ESD would be effective for pain relief. For this, we designed randomized,
double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Eligible patients with early gastric neoplasm were
randomized into one of three groups: bupivacaine (BV) only, bupivacaine with triamcinolone
(BV-TA), or placebo. To evaluate the pain after ESD, the Present Pain Intensity (PPI) score
and the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) were used to evaluate pain at 0, 6, 12
and 24 h after ESD.
