Complete Title: BURN Study: Buffered Lidocaine in Reducing Pain from Prostate Biopsy
Trial Phase: I/II
Investigator: Alex Zhu

The main question it aims to answer is: 1) Does Buffered Lidocaine (1% Lidocaine + 8.4% Sodium Bicarbonate, in a 3:1 ratio) reduce the pain of local anesthetic injection during prostate biopsy, as compared to 1% Lidocaine Researchers will compare the pain that patients report during a prostate biopsy after receiving either (A) Buffered Lidocaine or (B) 1% Lidocaine for their local anesthetic.
