Official title

A Double-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial of Jet Injection of 1% Buffered Lidocaine Versus Topical EMLA for Local Anesthesia Before Lumbar Puncture in Children

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a needle-free jet-injection system with 1% buffered lidocaine for local anesthesia for lumbar punctures compared to a topical anesthetic agent. Our hypothesis is: A needle-free jet-injection system (J-Tip) with 1% lidocaine will provide local anesthesia that is comparable to that of a topical anesthetic agent (EMLA cream) when performing lumbar punctures in children.
