The Effect of Lidocaine-Prilocaine Cream Combined with or Without Remimazolam on VAS and APAIS Anxiety Score in Patient Undergoing Spinal Anesthesia.

Approximately half of the patients scheduled for spinal anesthesia experienced a moderate level of preoperative anxiety. The patient's pain expectation from the spinal anesthesia puncture was moderate, which was higher than the actual pain. Lidocaine-prilocaine cream with or without remimazolam sedative before spinal anesthesia puncture reduced the patient's pain and anxiety scores after surgery.
