What is being tested?
The study compares three methods to reduce pain during trigger finger injections: no anesthesia, a topical coolant spray (Gebauers Ethyl Chloride), and vibration anesthesia device by Blaine Labs. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of these methods.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include temporary discomfort at the site of application for both the topical coolant and vibration device. There are generally no significant side effects expected from these types of local anesthesia techniques.
