Clinical Trial Description

Many patients with chronic urological conditions require multiple and sometimes painful urological procedures. Ideally these procedures may be done in the cystoscopy suite without a general anesthetic. Low dose methoxyflurane, (MEOF)is a inhaled, self-administered non-opioid analgesic and has been approved by Health Canada's for the short-term relief of moderate to severe acute pain, associated with trauma or international medical procedures, in conscious adult patients. The brand name is PENTHROX.

This study is a single centre, pilot study to assess the feasibility of using a self-administrated, MEOF for pain relief during minor out-patient urological procedures. Eligible participants will receive a one time dose of the the study medication during a planned, outpatient urological procedure done under cystoscopy in the Cystoscopy clinic ;
