What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Percent adhesion

    The adhesion performance (i.e., degree of lifting or detachment) is assessed by clinicians at each time point. The adhesion of Test Products 1, 2, and 3 (each over-the-counter external analgesic lidocaine-containing patch) are compared to the adhesion performance observed for the Reference Product.

    Time frame: 0, 3, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours

Secondary outcomes

  1. Adverse events

    The number of adverse events observed in each treatment will be used to assess the safety and tolerability of the four interventions

    Time frame: 12 hours
