What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Following the iontophoresis treatment an IV will be inserted into the treatment area and the amount of pain will be assessed using the median visual analog pain scale (VAS).

    Measured: 4 hours

  2. Monitor the nature and frequency of adverse events associated with the iontophoretic device through observation during treatment.

    Measured: 4 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Determining the duration of anesthesia through standard pin prick testing.

    Measured: 4 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Iontophoretic Drug Delivery System with Lidocaine/Epinephrine and Iontophoretic Drug Delivery System with Epinephrine in people with Local Anesthesia, run by Dharma Therapeutics Inc. at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Following the iontophoresis treatment an IV will be inserted into the treatment area and the amount of pain will be assessed using the median visual analog pain scale (VAS). (time frame: 4 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jun 2009.
