Before a phlebotomy, the site is cleaned off with an alcohol pad. If the alcohol pad had an anesthetizer the needle stick would be less painful. The breakage of skin is where the pain comes from and if the preparation step can help reduce the pain the whole experience of phlebotomy will be less discomforting.
