Numbing patch comparison before blood draw for eye care
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a numbing skin patch made with tiny microneedles against a standard numbing cream/patch to reduce pain before a blood draw. It may help you feel less discomfort during venepuncture before an eye procedure.
