From: The eutectic mixture local anesthetics (EMLA) cream is more effective on venipuncture pain compared with lidocaine tape in the same patients

	EMLA	Lidocaine	95% CI	p value
EL group	n = 12	n = 12
VAS	2 [0–21]	25 [10–55]	− 30.6 to − 2.5	0.022
VRS	2 [1–2]	2 [2–3]	− 1.2 to − 0.3	0.016
LE group	n = 12	n = 12
VAS	7 [0–19]	14 [4–42]	− 30.0 to − 0.5	0.022
VRS	2 [1–2]	2 [1–2]	− 0.7 to 0.1	0.250
