Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of intranasally-administrated fentanyl
spray to decrease the pain during cystoscopy (the passage of a telescopic instrument into the
bladder for purpose of diagnosing the cause of blood in the urine, urinary complaints or any
other problems with the urinary bladder). The current standard practice is to use Lidocaine
jelly (a local anesthetic) given through the urethra to lubricate and decrease pain. In this
study, an additional medicine (fentanyl) is used to reduce pain that occurs during and after
the above procedure.
