Study Overview

Brief Summary

Local anesthesia injections are sometimes painful, resulting in antagonistic cooperation, fear, and anxiety in children. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of vibratory and cold stimulation before the injection to reduce pain. Purpose of the study: Evaluate the effectiveness of Buzzy® in pain reduction during local anesthesia administration compared to the traditional topical anesthetic gel in pediatric patients.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in pain scores

Time Frame: Baseline and up to 1 hour

Visual Analogue Scale is used and it ranges from 0 to 10. the ''0'' point indicates ''no pain'' and ''10'' point indicates the worst possible pain.

Change in child's behavior

Time Frame: During the procedure

Sound, eye,motor (SEM) scale is used. it assess child's pain perception by observing discomfot levels on SEM during injections. Total scores for SEM range from 0 to 9 based on 0-3 score for each parameter. Score 0: Comfort Score 1: Mild disocomfort Score 2: Moderate discomfort Score 3: Severe discomfort

Secondary Outcomes

No secondary outcomes reported
