Vibration anesthesia during carboxytherapy for cellulite: a study protocol.

To date, there has been no investigation addressing the effects of vibration anesthesia during carboxytherapy. Investigate the analgesic effect of different vibratory devices during carboxytherapy for the treatment of cellulite. A total of 78 women between 18 and 49 years of age with cellulite in the gluteal region will be randomly allocated to three groups: Group A (carboxytherapy and vibratory device A), Group B (carboxytherapy and vibratory device B) and control group. Pain intensity will be assessed using a numerical rating scale after each puncture. Vibration anesthesia is expected to be effective at diminishing the pain intensity caused by carboxytherapy comparison with the control group, with no differences between the vibratory devices.
