Lidocaine Administration Using STAR Particles
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Anesthesia, Local
In brief
This study is being done to answer the question: Do STAR particles (tiny pieces of ceramic with small spikes) help numbing gel (a gel that helps you feel less pain) work more quickly to provide local anesthesia or numbing in a specific area? Research participants will provide feedback on how quickly the STAR particles with the numbing gel can provide anesthesia. Participants will report their sensation at either 10 or 20 minutes after application of the numbing gel.
