简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the best distraction mechanism during trigger finger injection in the outpatient setting. Temporary discomfort from the needle prick is highly feared by patients and is often accompanied by significant acute pain and distress during routine corticosteroid injection in the orthopedic outpatient setting. This study aims to examine 4 different distraction methods and their efficacy in reducing perceived pain, which will be evaluate using the VAS (visual analog pain score.) The three distraction methods will be ethyl chloride spray, adjacent pinch, ethyl chloride spray and pinch, and "screen" or looking away method.

研究组 & 干预措施
First Group
Skin cooling with ethyl chloride spray will be used for 5 seconds prior to injection
干预措施: Ethyl chloride spray (Drug)
Second Group
The skin between the distal palmar crease and the palmo-digital crease and the palmo-digital crease will be pinched for 5 seconds prior to injection
干预措施: Pinching (Procedure)
Third Group
Skin cooling with ethyl chloride spray will be used for 5 seconds prior to injection as well as a second pinch to the skin between the distal palmar crease and the palmo digital crease
干预措施: Ethyl chloride spray (Drug)
Third Group
Skin cooling with ethyl chloride spray will be used for 5 seconds prior to injection as well as a second pinch to the skin between the distal palmar crease and the palmo digital crease
干预措施: Pinching (Procedure)
Fourth Group
Subjects will sit behind a screen with a small opening large enough to introduce the injection hand. They will not see any of the procedure.
干预措施: No Site of Procedure (Procedure)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score
时间窗: 1 Minute, 24 Hours
A 10-cm scale will be shown to the patients, and they will be asked to choose the proper number, with 1 representing no pain and 10 symbolizing the most pain imaginable
