Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialA controlled trial of pain on skin infiltration with local anaesthetics.
A double-blind, randomised controlled trial was performed to compare the pain experienced on intradermal and subcutaneous injection of lignocaine 1% with adrenaline 1:100,000, lignocaine 1%, procaine 1% and normal saline. A linear analogue pain scale was used to assess pain. ⋯ These differences were significant at p less than 0.05 or greater for all comparisons except procaine 1% and normal saline. In conclusion, procaine 1% appears to be the local anaesthetic of choice from among those tested for intradermal and subcutaneous injection.

Intradermal testing after anaphylactoid reaction to anaesthetic drugs: practical aspects of performance and interpretation.

If intradermal testing is performed according to this protocol the drug responsible for the reaction can be determined in the majority of reactions.
