Comparison of dorsal penile nerve block alone and in combination with lidocaine-prilocaine cream in neonates undergoing circumcision: a randomized controlled study.

Suboptimal neonatal circumcision analgesia causes a significant stress response. There is continued search for more effective analgesia for neonatal circumcision. We aimed to determine whether lidocaine-prilocaine cream (LPC) prior to dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) offers better analgesia than DPNB alone.
