Study Summary
The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of a new approach to numbing (anesthetizing) nerves in the back and to measure how far the area of anesthesia extends on the skin of the back.
Primary Outcome
At time zero (pre injection), 5 minutes, and 15 minutes point-discrimination to pain and temperature will be evaluated by blunt-needle prick and ice (in plastic bag). A "map" of each will be drawn and photographed for analysis. 1. Photos will only include surface anatomy of the low-to-mid back. 2. Participants will be assessed for evidence of adverse reaction to local anesthesia (tinnitus, disorientation, or perioral numbness) with each 5cc dose of local anesthetic.
Interventions
- DRUG Ropivicaine
