“…On the other hand, Cermak et al. and Nomi et al. showed in their studies that tramadol administration was not effective for pain control vs placebo ( N = 349 [comparing five different methods], N = 54 [comparing meperidine and tramadol against placebo], and N = 121[exclusively Japanese men], respectively).…”

Transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)‐guided prostate biopsy is the most commonly used method of sampling prostate tissue for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The technique is well recognised to potentially cause severe pain and discomfort for patients and this has led to numerous attempts to devise ways to minimise these problems. This systematic review summarises the techniques that have been described to date, with special reference to studies using either a visual analogue or numerical analogue scale to report outcomes. Commonly used approaches that are effective to minimise pain or discomfort include intravenous sedoanalgesia, inhalational agents and periprostatic infiltration of local anaesthetic. Whilst diclofenac suppositories are more effective than placebo, intra‐rectal local anaesthetic gels appear to be of no benefit. Performing TRUS‐guided prostate biopsy without any form analgesia is not appropriate.

“…Another study comparing i.m. tramadol and PNB concluded that PNB was superior to tramadol ( N = 349) . However, the anxiolytic effect of opioids and codeine analogs cannot be ignored, and the indications for its use should be investigated.…”
