Brief summary (from the registry)

In this study, the investigators are testing a new formulation of lidocaine for its suitability in managing chronic scrotal pain (CSCP). The new formulation ST-CP is a lidocaine sustained-release formulation and is expected to provide pain relief over 4 weeks. Currently, the drug lidocaine is not available as an injectable slow-release formulation and chronic scrotal pain patients are often left untreated.
