Is vapocoolant spray safe for use in humans?
How does the treatment Nüm Vapocoolant differ from other treatments for injection pain in breast cancer procedures?
Nüm Vapocoolant is unique because it provides quick pain relief through skin cooling by evaporation, which is different from other treatments that may use topical anesthetics or no pain relief at all. This method is particularly novel for breast cancer procedures, where pain management options are limited.26789
