Brief Summary   Aims & objectives: this study was designed to compare and evaluate efficacy of lignocaine, dexmedetomidine & placebo in preventing pain due to propofol injection.

Methods: 90 adults were assigned into three groups.With aim of keeping the drug in the vein,forearm was squeezed with tourniquet upto 70 mmhg.Group 1(n=30) received 0.25microgm/kg of dexmedetomidine, group 2(n=30) 0.5 mg/kg of lignocane diluted in 5ml of NS & group 3(n=30) 5ml of NS followed by an injection of proposal from same vein after releasing the occlusion. Pain assessment was made immediately after propofol  injection using McCrirrik & Hunter Scale.

Result: the number of patient who suffered from any degree of pain was low in group1 & 2

Discussion: Lidocaine and dexmedetomidine significantly reduced the incidence and severity of propofol injection pain more than placebo ( p< 0.001). The efficacy of dexmedetomidine in alleviating the pain on injection of propofol is no different from lidocaine.

Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine pretreatment may be used to reduce the incidence of pain on injection of propofol, with added advantage of sparing effect on the requirement of analgesics and sedatives, better hemodynamics profile and anti- shivering action
