Official Title: Comparison of Novel Articaine Lozenge Versus Placebo for Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in Adults. A Randomized Double-blinded Controlled Study

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to examine in prospective, double-blinded randomised manner the ability of novel articaine-containing lozenge to enhance the procedure related compliance (compared to placebo) of the adult patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Helsinki University Central Hospital

Current Primary Outcome: Percentage of participants with 15% change in tolerability points according to Numeric Rating Scale (compared to baseline Numeric Rating Scale). [ Time Frame: 30 minutes after the procedure ]

Original Primary Outcome: Percentage of participants with 15% change in tolerability points according to Visual Analogue Scale (compared to baseline Visual Analogue Scale). [ Time Frame: 30 minutes after the procedure ]

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Endoscopists´ procedural satisfaction points after the procedure assessed by using Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) [ Time Frame: within 30 minutes after the procedure ]
  • Cumulative consumption of alfentanil during the procedure (mg) [ Time Frame: 30 minutes after the procedure ]


Original Secondary Outcome:

  • Endoscopists´ procedural satisfaction points after the procedure assessed by using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) [ Time Frame: within 30 minutes after the procedure ]
  • Cumulative consumption of alfentanil during the procedure (mg) [ Time Frame: 30 minutes after the procedure ]
