Summary

The study aims to determine the effectiveness of cotton as a dampener for vibratory anesthetic devices (VADs) for dermatologic patients. It will compare patient preferences for VAD use with and without cotton across different anatomical sites and identify factors, such as chronic pain or neuropathy status, that may influence these preferences. Finally, the study seeks to generate preliminary data to inform potential modifications to VAD use, optimizing patient comfort in dermatologic procedures

Interventions

DEVICE

VAD with Cotton Dampener

A standard pen-like Vibratory Anesthetic Device (VAD) with cotton will be applied across five anatomical sites (lateral nasal wall, sub-malar region of the cheek, ear helix, lateral neck, and dorsal side of the forearm) of participants. For each anatomical site, one side (either right or left) will receive vibration with cotton, and the opposite side will receive vibration without cotton in a randomized order.

DEVICE

Vibratory Anesthetic Device (VAD)

A standard pen-like Vibratory Anesthetic Device (VAD) without cotton will be applied across five anatomical sites (lateral nasal wall, sub-malar region of the cheek, ear helix, lateral neck, and dorsal side of the forearm) of participants.
