Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a needle-free jet-injection system with 1% buffered lidocaine for local anesthesia for lumbar punctures compared to a topical anesthetic agent. Our hypothesis is: A needle-free jet-injection system (J-Tip) with 1% lidocaine will provide local anesthesia that is comparable to that of a topical anesthetic agent (EMLA cream) when performing lumbar punctures in children.
