“CONCLUSION:We observed that the combination of capsaicin and EMLA in a low concentration is as effective in managing venous cannulation as when applied as an individual drug alone.”
“Yosipovitch et al. (1) showed that EMLA significantly reduces the burning sensation from capsaicin , whereas Fuchs et al. (2) argue against the use of EMLA to block pain due to topical capsaicin.”
