Chill out: spray tested to take the sting out of IV needles

NCT ID NCT01670487

Summary

This study tested whether a fast-acting cooling spray could safely reduce the pain adults feel when getting an IV needle placed in the emergency room. Researchers compared the spray to a harmless water spray in 300 stable patients. The goal was to find a quick, needle-free way to make this common procedure more comfortable.
