Topical ibuprofen for skin analgesia prior to venepuncture

Topical ibuprofen for skin analgesia prior to venepuncture Summary The analgesic effect of topical ibuprofen was investigated in ten volunteers. There were no significant differences in visual analogue scale pain scores for pinprick after 15 and 60 mm of application of ibuprofen, placebo and EM LA cream. Comparison of visual analogue scale scores for venous cannulation after similar durations of ibuprofen and EMLA creams found significantly (p < 0.014) lower scores for EMLA at 60min. We do not consider ibuprofen cream to be clinically useful for venous cannulation. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Anaesthesia Wiley

Abstract

Summary The analgesic effect of topical ibuprofen was investigated in ten volunteers. There were no significant differences in visual analogue scale pain scores for pinprick after 15 and 60 mm of application of ibuprofen, placebo and EM LA cream. Comparison of visual analogue scale scores for venous cannulation after similar durations of ibuprofen and EMLA creams found significantly (p < 0.014) lower scores for EMLA at 60min. We do not consider ibuprofen cream to be clinically useful for venous cannulation.
