Brief summary:
The purpose of this study is to study if lidocaine, given intravenously, reduces pain.

Detailed description:
Clinicians use lidocaine intravenously in a fashion that suggests that it might have analgesic effects. Therefore, we test the hypothesis that lidocaine reduces pain intensity in response to experimental pain.

Arms:
arm 1: Lidocaine 2% (2mg/ml) was administered via a computer assisted infusion to achieve a target plasma concentration of 2 mcg/ml; infused within 20 minutes.

Interventions: intervention 1: Lidocaine
