Article Synopsis
  • * The development of a new type of microneedle (MN) patch, made from a polymer/drug mix, allows for quick and painless application to the skin for both local and systemic drug delivery.
  • * A specific MN patch design using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and lidocaine (L) with added sodium bicarbonate (NaB) enhances MN dissolution speed by 60%, enabling a much shorter wear time for effective pain relief.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study reviewed the effectiveness of topical medications for diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) and compared them with oral pain relief options.
  • - The most promising topical treatments identified were 8% Capsaicin patches and 5% Lidocaine patches, along with evidence supporting topical clonidine, gabapentin, and amitriptyline.
  • - Topical medications could be viable alternatives to oral medications for DNP, and further research is needed on combining different topical treatments for better effectiveness.

Study Design: This is a prospective randomized subject-blinded controlled trial of patients undergoing cesarean delivery at a single institution.
