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