Vibratory Anesthesia on Pain Following Corticosteroid Injections (NCT07553273)

The Effect of Vibratory Anesthesia on Patient Pain Perception in Corticosteroid Injections of the Upper Extremity

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic โš™๏ธ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This research study aims to evaluate injectional pain at the site of needle insertion for corticosteroid injections (CSI) of the upper extremity depending on different modes of anesthetics. Each individual's perception of pain upon receiving a CSI with two out of three modes of anesthesia (control/no anesthesia, vibrational anesthesia, vapo-coolant anesthesia) will be utilized to compare these variables and determine the method that is associated with the least pain.
