  Purpose

The objective of our study is to determine if technique of lidocaine administration can decrease pain perception.

Hypothesis: There will be a significant difference in pain perception between patients who are given lidocaine on the skin surface prior to subcutaneous injection and patients who are given only subcutaneous injection by standard approach.

Estimated Enrollment: 490
Study Start Date: February 2011
Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date: December 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: lidocaine onto skin prior to lidocaine subcutaneous injection Drug: lidocaine
2ml 1% lidocaine placed onto surface of the skin immediately prior to 1% lidocaine subcutaneous injection
Active Comparator: lidocaine subcutaneous injection alone Drug: lidocaine
1% lidocaine subcutaneous injection alone

Detailed Description:

This is a single center prospective, randomized, blinded study assessing pain perception following 2 different lidocaine administration techniques in subjects who have planned medical procedures requiring local injection of lidocaine. Subjects will be approached and consented to participate in the study. They will be interviewed after the scheduled medical procedure to assess their pain using validated pain scores. An investigator who is not present for the procedure and blinded to the randomization will gather data regarding perceptions of pain from the entire procedure.
