Kinetic Anesthesia Device for Lidocaine Injection: a Randomized Split-body Study of the Effects of Kinetic Anesthesia Devices on Pain of Lidocaine Injection in Healthy Volunteers
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Kinetic Anesthesia Device and Control for Local Anaesthetic Complication and Pain. Completed, enrolled 47 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Patients experience discomfort from lidocaine injections. Vibrating kinetic anesthesia devices (KAD) have been shown to reduce pain of injections in dentistry, pediatrics, and dermatology, though no studies of lidocaine injections in sites common to dermatologic surgery exist. We will conduct a randomized split-body study, in which healthy volunteers will rate the pain of lidocaine injections on a visual analog scale, with and without the vibrating kinetic anesthesia device being used during injection
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
A vibrating device held to the skin in close proximity to the lidocaine injection, intended to diminish discomfort by the gate control theory of pain
One injection will be administered without the kinetic anesthesia device.
