Clinical Research in the area of pain management is ongoing. Gebauer topical anesthetic skin refrigerants are reviewed in many such studies. The FDA has determined that each of the Gebauer family of topical anesthetic skin refrigerants is substantially equivalent (SE) to each other in terms of efficacy. Therefore, each clinical study is relevant to all Gebauer topical anesthetic skin refrigerants.
