Functional Microarray Augmentation of Skin Treatment With Lidocaine

Registration Number
NCT01145326
Lead Sponsor
University of Oklahoma
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether co-application of a functional microarray of needles (FMA) speeds the rate at which topical anesthesia is provided. A secondary goal is to determine whether the depth of anesthesia is enhanced.

Detailed Description

The study's primary goal is to determine whether co-application of a functional microarray of needles (FMA) speeds the rate at which topical anesthesia is provided by lidocaine gel 4% (LG4). A secondary goal is to determine whether the depth of anesthesia is enhanced.
