Trial Outcomes & Findings for An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Local Anesthetics Used During Intravenous Catheter Insertion (NCT NCT02162680)

NCT ID: NCT02162680

Last Updated: 2014-08-15

Results Overview

The visual analog pain scale is a patient-reported measure of pain on a 10-point scale with 0 being no pain and 10 being worst possible pain. The visual analog pain score will be completed at the following time points: pre injection, during injection, and during catheter insertion.
