Buffered versus non-buffered numbing medicine for wound cleanup
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of numbing medicine (local anesthetic) used during wound cleaning procedures. One type is buffered (chemically treated to work faster and hurt less), and the other is not. Researchers want to see which works better for pain relief and has fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
