New approach to ease skin graft pain shows promise

NCT ID NCT01999153

Summary

This study tested whether applying a numbing medication called ropivacaine directly to skin graft donor sites could reduce pain after surgery. Researchers compared this approach to a standard saline solution in 58 adults who needed skin grafts smaller than a standard sheet of paper. The goal was to see if the medication could decrease pain and reduce the need for additional painkillers during recovery.
