Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of a sphenopalatine ganglion
(SPG) block in anxious patients at electronic dance music festivals. The main question is:
- Is an SPG block useful in reducing anxiety, in comparison to placebo?
Participants will have lidocaine-soaked cotton tip applicator placed inside each nare for
10-minutes, or have a saline-soaked cotton tip applicator placed inside each nare for
10-minutes.
Researchers compare the lidocaine-soaked intervention (SPG block) with the saline-soaked
intervention (placebo) to see if it reduces anxiety in patients presenting at electronic
dance music festivals with anxiety.
