Rabbi Ariel Asa has performed hundreds of circumcisions. When families request it, he says he puts an anesthetic on the skin, in an effort to reduce some of the pain. But he admits it's not very effective.
"Due to the fact that ''moyels '' (the people who do the procedure) do it very quickly and the pain that the baby experiences is minimal, I don't think that the overall benefits are gained," he says.
But the researchers found that while topical anesthetics may help initially, they are woefully inadequate during foreskin separation and incision.
