Randomized Study of the Use of Synera for Pain Relief During Local Lidocaine Needle Skin Infiltration for Epidural Placement in Subjects Undergoing Elective Cesarean Section.
Local infiltration with lidocaine prior to epidural placement for cesarean section, although
brief, can be painful. This pain can lead to increased anxiety and distress, adversely
affecting patient's overall experience. This study proposes to examine the application of
Synera pain patch prior to lidocaine infiltration to reduce this pain and anxiety.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of the Synera on maternal
experience during epidural placement. The efficacy of Synera pain patch in reducing subject
pain during skin infiltration with lidocaine prior to epidural placement in subjects
presenting for scheduled cesarean section will be assessed.
