Baking soda in numbing shot could take the sting out of hand surgery

NCT ID NCT05328180

Summary

This study is testing if adding a common baking soda solution to the numbing medicine used before carpal tunnel surgery makes the injection less painful. Researchers are comparing pain levels between two groups of 116 patients: one gets the standard numbing shot, and the other gets the shot mixed with baking soda. The main goal is to see if the buffered shot causes less burning, pressure, and needle sting pain for patients during this common procedure.
