Brief Summary

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

Local anesthesia used for incision and drainage of abscesses is known to be painful.

We studied the analgesia provided by a lidocaine/tetracaine patch compared to injectable lidocaine during incision and drainage (I\&D) of skin abscesses.

Local injection of lidocaine provided similar analgesia compared to the lidocaine/tetracaine patch during I\&D of skin abscesses in the Emergency Department. Pain at presentation and following the procedure was similar in both groups.
