研究概览
简要总结
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

研究组 & 干预措施
Cotton as a dampener for a standard vibratory anesthetic device
A standard pen-like Vibratory Anesthetic Device (VAD) with and without cotton will be applied across five anatomical sites (lateral nasal wall, sub-malar region of the cheek, ear helix, lateral neck, and dorsal side of the forearm) of participants. For each anatomical site, one side (either right or left) will receive vibration with cotton, and the opposite side will receive vibration without cotton in a randomized order. The study will be blinded to participants, who will be instructed to close their eyes or look away during the vibration application. After the pairs of VAD applications, patients will report their preference for each treatment condition.
