2007-06-01
This study compares the efficacy of the Synera patch with Eutectic Mixture of Local
Anesthetics (EMLA) as a topical anesthetic for venipuncture in pediatric patients.
We hypothesized that the analgesic effect of Synera™ analgesic patch would be superior to
traditional infiltration with lidocaine for pain of epidural needle insertion in laboring
parturients.

The purpose of the study is to determine the depth (mm) of anesthesia provided by the Synera
topical patch (using sensory depth and pain depth evaluations), and to determine the duration
(minutes) of anesthesia provided by the Synera topical patch (using dermal sensory testing
and thermal sensory testing evaluations), compared with a matching heated placebo patch.
