Summary
This study tested whether applying a Xylocaine (numbing) compress before a trigger finger injection reduces pain during the procedure. 60 adults with trigger finger took part in a double-blind trial where neither they nor the doctor knew who got the numbing compress. The main goal was to measure pain levels during the injection using a 0-100 scale.
