Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Prostate Cancer

Summary

The purpose of this study is to look whether using local anesthesia during a transperineal prostate biopsy, while put to sleep by IV sedation, helps reduce the number of people who feel significant pain in the recovery room. The researchers will also look at how local anesthesia affects the amount of pain medication used, how quickly people can go home after the biopsy, and how well they recover after leaving the hospital.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is looking at two procedural improvements for prostate care: (1) testing whether local anesthesia during a prostate biopsy (done through the perineum while under sedation) makes a difference in patient experience, and (2) testing whether a standardized care pathway before and after a partial prostate gland ablation procedure improves outcomes. **You may be eligible if...** - You are scheduled for a transperineal prostate biopsy at the JRSC or Monmouth Medical Center - OR you are scheduled for a partial prostate gland ablation procedure at the JRSC **You may NOT be eligible if...** - There are no specific exclusion criteria listed for this study Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
