Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will determine whether application of a patch containing a topical anesthetic (numbing medicine) named lidocaine can reduce the pain of subsequent insertion of an intravenous catheter in Emergency Department patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients will be randomly assigned to an active lidocaine patch or a patch that conatins a placebo or inactive agent. Neither the patient nor the practitioner will know which patch is used since they will appear identical.
