Abstract
Treatment with lidocaine is gentle, with a high success rate and witho ut observed side effects. Most of the refractory cases in this study r esponded to such treatment, even patients with severe chronic symptoms . Lidocaine seems to offer a good treatment alternative to conventiona l treatment and in cases with refractory distal colitis.
