Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators propose to examine if Pain Ease spray, used as an adjunct to the topical anesthetic Ametop Gel, can improve the percentage of pain-free IV starts.


Clinical Trial Description

Purpose:

The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of Pain Ease® spray, used as an adjunct to Ametop Gel™.

Hypothesis:

The investigators hypothesize that using Pain Ease® spray as an adjunct to the standard use of Ametop Gel™ will increase the number of pain free venipunctures from 30% to 50% or more.

Objectives:

Primary Objective

1. To determine if using Pain Ease® spray as an adjunct to Ametop Gel™ will increase the number of pain free venipunctures Secondary Objectives

2. To document the side effects of Pain Ease® spray and Ametop Gel™

3. To document the number of attempts for a successful IV insertion

Research Design:

The investigators propose a patient-blinded randomized control trial of Ametop Gel™ with and without Pain Ease® spray as an adjunct.

Statistical Analysis:

An interim analysis will be performed at the study's halfway point after recruitment of 120 participants. A score on the Faces Pain Scale - Revised (FPS-R) of either 0 or 2 will be considered a pain-free IV start, while a score of 4-10 will be considered a painful IV cannula insertion. Fischer's Exact test will be used to determine statistical significance; a critical alpha of 0.05 will be considered for significance. ;
