NCT ID NCT06354816
First seen Apr 03, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tested whether a 10% lidocaine spray (a numbing medicine) reduces pain when inserting an IV catheter. Forty women each received four IV insertions—some with the spray, some without—and rated their pain on a 0–10 scale. The goal was to see if the spray made the procedure less painful, especially in the hand and forearm.
