Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Effect of Microneedle Pretreatment on Topical Anesthesia (NCT NCT02596750)

NCT ID: NCT02596750

Last Updated: 2018-11-27

Results Overview

100 mm Visual Analog Scale pain grading. Using a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity.

Microneedle Treatment
Microneedle treatments consisted of pre-treatment with 200 micrometer microneedle rollers and then application of topical 4% lidocaine.
Sham Microneedle
Sham microneedle treatments consisted of pre-treatment with flat microneedle rollers (no needles) and then application of topical 4% lidocaine.

Microneedle Pretreatment
n=21 Forearms
One ventral forearm is randomized to receive pretreatment with microneedle rollers that are 200 micrometers in length (Clinical Resolution Laboratories, Inc.). Then topical 4% lidocaine is applied and pain in assessed after a pain stimulus at the 2 min, 5 min, 10 min, and 30 min time points. Microneedle Roller: 200-micrometer length microneedles (MR2 roller, Clinical Resolution Laboratories, Inc.) mounted on a disposable roller Topical 4% lidocaine
Sham Microneedle Pretreatment
n=21 Forearms
One ventral forearm is randomized to receive pretreatment with sham microneedle rollers (flat roller without any microneedles) (Clinical Resolution Laboratories, Inc.). Then topical 4% lidocaine is applied and pain in assessed after a pain stimulus at the 2 min, 5 min, 10 min, and 30 min time points.
