Brief summary

This study focus on the efficacity of tumescent anesthesia in pain management during a photodynamic therapy on the vertex for treatment of actinic keratosis. To do this we carried out a prospective, randomized, controlled, open-ended study. Our aim is to show a 40% reduction in pain during photodynamic therapy session compared to a conventionally used analgesic method (paracetamol + cold water)

Interventions

DRUGProcedure (Tumesent anesthesia)

Photodynamic therapy of vertex with a solution of 180 ml of tumescent anesthesia diffused over 1 hour in three different sub-deceasing points.

DRUGControl Arm (Paracetamol)

Photodynamic therapy of vertex with 1g of paracetamol intake 1 hour before cold water is applied during the session.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain Intensity Measure : evaluate the effectiveness of tumescent anesthesia compared to the control group in pain management during a dynamic vertex phototherapy session performed for the management of actinic keratoses.8 minutesScore of the maximum numerical pain assessment scale from 0 to 10 (0=no pain; 10= pain as bas as can be) felt during the dynamic phototherapy session in both groups. This score will be collected at the end of the session.
