| Scientific title | |
| Study objectives | In this study, we are comparing bupivacaine versus lidocaine with epinephrine when used for the digital block in healthy volunteers aiming to know if there is a difference in the pain of injection. Time of onset and duration of action will also be recorded and compared between the two local anaesthetics. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Ethics approval received from: 1. The Clinical Research Committee of King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) on the 17th May 2006 (proposal no.: 2061015) 2. The Research Ethics Committee of King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) on the 12th June 2006 The reference number at the Office of Research Affair at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) is ORA/0642/27. |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Injection pain in digital nerve blocks |
| Intervention | 1. Bupivacaine 0.5% (4 ml for each digit) 2. Lidocaine 1% with 1:100,000 epinephrin (4 ml for each digit) Both anaesthetics were adminstered in either the right or left middle finger based on the randomisation table and each participant recieved both anaesthetics in either hand so each participant acts as a self-control to compare the pain of injection. All participants were blinded to which anaesthetics were going in each hand. The total duration will be until the return of sensation and this will be followed by a 24-hour follow-up. |

| Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s) | Bupivacaine, lidocaine, epinephrine |
| Primary outcome measure | The primary outcome was the pain of injection, and it was measured using a 0- to 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS). |
| Secondary outcome measures | 1. The time in minutes from injection until anaesthesia, measured using testing needle pinpricks 2. The time in minutes from injection until return of sensation, measured using testing needle pinpricks |
