Arm Elevation for Propofol Injection Pain
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of this research is to determine whether a simple technique, temporarily raising the arm during the injection of propofol (a commonly used medication for anesthesia), can reduce the pain that some people experience when the medication is given through an IV. The study will compare this technique with the current standard approach of using lidocaine (a numbing medication), as well as a combination of both methods, to determine which approach is most effective at reducing injection pain.
