Needle-Free jet injection matches cream for pain relief in clubfoot babies
NCT ID NCT04766684
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two numbing methods for a common clubfoot procedure in infants: a needle-free jet injection that works in 1-2 minutes versus a topical cream that takes 30 minutes. Researchers measured pain using a standard scale, heart rate, and oxygen levels in 107 babies. The goal was to see if the faster jet injection provides equal or better pain relief without more side effects.
