A combined 0.025% capsaicin gel and topical anesthetic were randomly applied on one side of the neck, and a topical anesthetic monotherapy was applied on the contralateral side for 30 min before MFU\u2010V treatment. Pain score (visual analog scale, 0\u201310) was evaluated at T1 (before MFU\u2010V), T2a (after the 4.5\u2010mm transducer treatment), T2b (after the 3.0\u2010mm transducer treatment), and T3 (after the entire treatment).

The capsaicin\u2010treated side had a lower pain score at T2b and T3 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001).
