Primary outcomePrimary: Pain of Lidocaine Injection, Measured by Visual Analog Scale. — 7.5; 26 mm on visual analog scale
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
