General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
To investigate the sensory distribution of a LFCN-block
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
The participants were healthy volanteers. Each participant got one block. There were
not taken special measurments regarding pain, as, local anesthesia at the point of injection also would
create pain.
The sourroundings however where kept quite, and participants had privacy.
