Efficacy of Cotton as a Dampener for Vibration Anesthetic Device

Conditions

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

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
