Thesis title: Lidocaine for headache prevention during chronic subdural hematoma embolization

Background: Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) for the management of chronic subdural hematomas (CSDH) with ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) causes an evident patient discomfort due to meningeal nociceptors stimulation. The aim of this study was to assess safety and efficacy of intra-arterial lidocaine (IAL) before MMAE of CSDH with EVOH. Methods: We analyzed all consecutive patients with bilateral CSDH undergoing MMAE with EVOH. We used a monolateral IAL injection, with casual allocation. We assessed the headache felt by patients during embolization with the visual analog scale (VAS) and compared scores obtained after embolization of both sides. We followed the STROBE guidelines for case–control studies. Paired t-test and χ2 test were used to compare the distribution of variables in IAL vs control group. Results: Between September 2021 and March 2023, 32 patients underwent bilateral MMAE with EVOH for a CSDH. Lidocaine treatment resulted in a substantially lower VAS score compared to the control group (median 3 vs 7, p < 0.001), with no sub- stantial side effect. Compliance also benefited from lidocaine administration. Conclusions: In patients with CSDH undergoing MMAE, IAL seems to reduce pain sensation associated with EVOH injection and to increase patients’ compliance during treatment.
