Pain Management During a Photodynamic Therapy Session on the Vertex for Actinic Keratosis: Tumescent Anesthesia Interest (ANTUKA)

September 28, 2021 updated by: Poitiers University Hospital

Tumescent Anesthesia Interest in Pain Management During a Dynamic Phototherapy (PTD) Session in Vertex Actinic Keratosis Treatment: a Single-center Prospective Randomized Study

This study focus on the efficacity of tumescent anesthesia in pain management during a photodynamic therapy on the vertex for treatment of actinic keratosis. To do this we carried out a prospective, randomized, controlled, open-ended study. Our aim is to show a 40% reduction in pain during photodynamic therapy session compared to a conventionally used analgesic method (paracetamol + cold water)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Tumescent anesthesia
Patient who will receive tumescent anesthesia as analgesic treatment
Photodynamic therapy of vertex with a solution of 180 ml of tumescent anesthesia diffused over 1 hour in three different sub-deceasing points.
Active Comparator: Painkillers and cold water
Patient who will receive painkillers 1 hour before photodynamic therapy and cold water during session as analgesic treatment

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pain Intensity Measure : evaluate the effectiveness of tumescent anesthesia compared to the control group in pain management during a dynamic vertex phototherapy session performed for the management of actinic keratoses.
Time Frame: 8 minutes

Score of the maximum numerical pain assessment scale from 0 to 10 (0=no pain; 10= pain as bas as can be) felt during the dynamic phototherapy session in both groups.

This score will be collected at the end of the session.
