30-MINUTES-TUMT. Use of the visual analogue scale to investigate patients' pain perception, different cocktail options and tolerability during 30 minutes' treatment.
BACKGROUND



OBJECTIVE
to investigate if 30-MINUTES-TUMT can be performed under topical anesthesia and analgesics.


OBJECTIVE
to evaluate retrospectively analgesics and to study parameters connected with pain.


METHODS
Eighty-nine patients underwent TUMT. Patients were divided into four groups with different medications. Paracetamol and tolterodin-L-tartrate were administered in all groups. The first group was also given hydromorphone hydrochloride and atropine sulphate, the second group dextropropoxyphene, the third group morphine and diclofenac, and the fourth group morphine and dextropropoxyphene. Pain during TUMT was registered using the VAS scale.


RESULTS
Pain during TUMT was (VAS in mm), respectively, total-first-second-third-fourth group: at 5 min -30, 31, 12, 28, 35; at 15 min -30, 23, 16, 25, 34; at 25 min -30, 28, 18, 25, 35. All patients accepted the treatment. No significant difference between the different drug schedules was noticed.


CONCLUSIONS
It is possible to treat patients with 30-MINUTES-TUMT with local anesthesia and analgesics. The pain can be accepted by all patients.
