Summary
With this experiment, we want to use to investigate whether repeated application of EMLA
cream as a tool to modulate non-histaminergic itching, which is produced using small needles
from the plant mucuna pruriens (it is known that antihistamine does not attenuate this form
of itch) and we want to compare the effect of short (1 hour) and prolonged (3 hours)
application of EMLA. The sub-project takes place in 3 sessions over a period of 3 consecutive
days (24 hours apart). All sessions will be identical.
