Protocol summary

Summary
This is a randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled study. Twenty five healthy female volunteers (20 to 40 years old) will be used in this study. Institutional Ethics Committee approval and informed consent from all the volunteers will be obtained. Exclusion criteria include systemic conditions (such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, renal insufficiency, hepatic dysfunction …..), allergic reactions to antidepressants, pregnancy, history of nerve injury, receiving drugs, neuropathy. The right or left labial alveolar mucosa of the upper incisor apices will be used for topical anesthesia application. The side will be randomly determined with the table of random numbers. The mucoadhesive amitriptyline and the control patch will be placed on the labial alveolar mucosa and the corresponding contralateral tissue sites. The patches will be kept in for 15 minutes. On removal of mucoadhesive amitriptyline and the control patch, a 27-gauge needle will be inserted into the designated tissue sites. Pain associated with these stimulation testing will be graded by the volunteers on a pain rating score (PRS) as no pain, slight pain, pain, and intolerable pain. In addition, a 10-cm visual analog pain scale (VAS) will be used, with the left end as no pain and the right end as intolerable pain. This protocol will be repeated in 30 and 45 minutes after removal patches.
