Sensory and Vascular Effects of Kinesio and Magnetic Tape in Healthy Subjects

An elastic adhesive tape containing magnetic particles, designed to be applied directly to the skin. In this study, the tape is applied to the lumbar region. The tape remains in place during standardized sensory and vascular measurements

EMLA®, a topical anesthetic cream containing lidocaine and prilocaine, will be applied under occlusion prior to tape application during 30 minutes with the aim of anesthetize the cutaneous sensory receptors

An elastic adhesive tape, designed to be applied directly to the skin. In this study, the tape is applied to the lumbar region. This tape does not content magnetic particles, thus is used as a comparator. The tape remains in place during standardized sensory and vascular measurements

A neutral moisturizing cream (control) will be applied under occlusion prior to tape application during 30 minutes. The application will be blind and use as a placebo vs the anesthetic cream.
