Study Summary
Perception of cutaneous sensory stimulation shows a large range of variability across multiple populations. Understanding this variability is critical to medical practice as interpretation of discomfort and pain is critical to diagnosis and treatment. Further, procedural medicine involves inflicting pain on patients in the form of injection of local anesthetic. Our protocol aims to determine how patients differentially interpret the non-noxious stimulation of vibration and the differences in perceiving anesthestic injection after the vibratory stimulus. We will explore how this ranges across all patients treated in a dermatological surgery out-patient setting. The goal is to identify which variables, such as age, gender, medical history, influence how sensation is interpreted.
Primary Outcome
This is a tool used to measure the degree of pain perceived by the patient with application of the tool on their skin and following the injection of anesthetic which is part of the routine medical care of the patient. Score ranges from 0 to 10 with higher score indicating more pain.
