Has anyone ever tried Lidocaine 5% patches?

This may be old news to some, and may not work for all, but I thought I would pass it along anyway.
Mom-in-Law brought home some Lidocaine 5% patches. I cut off two 3/4 x 4 inch strips and put one over my eye brow (about half-way across) and over to my temple and the other from just below my nostril, under my cheek bone and over to right in front of my ear.
I have done this for the last two days.
While wearing the strips I have had no shadows or attacks.
While not wearing the strips...business as usual. HA galore.
This might be worth trying...It looks kinda funny but when it comes to pain...I'm not out to win any beauty contests!!
Hope this is helpful.
Thanks to all.

I think I did some spray several years back, but haven't heard of patches. Have to ask about them.
If it works - who cares how it looks (this from the woman who wore "banana peels" around HER head all day) Consider it a "FASHION" statement.
Hoping it continues to do the trick.
Hugs BD

Reasearch is new on the patches. They have been using it with some success for migraine sufferers.
You may have to play with the placement of the strips to see what works best for you. But anything is worth trying once.
Lots of Luck!!

One of the known effects of lidocaine is chill. It chills the mucus layer if sprayed into the nose, and "freezes" the gums when they used it as an anesthetic in dentistry (for all I know they still do in the states?)
The pain killing power isn't that great, as far as I know; the localised chilling may count for more.
It would be interesting tio know if people who cannot abide ice during an attack, can find relief from these patches.
