Efficacy of Cotton as a Dampener for Vibration Anesthetic Device

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Patient Care

In brief

The study aims to determine the effectiveness of cotton as a dampener for vibratory anesthetic devices (VADs) for dermatologic patients. It will compare patient preferences for VAD use with and without cotton across different anatomical sites and identify factors, such as chronic pain or neuropathy status, that may influence these preferences. Finally, the study seeks to generate preliminary data to inform potential modifications to VAD use, optimizing patient comfort in dermatologic procedures
