- Brief Summary
When the literature is reviewed, there are few studies evaluating cold spray or ShotBlocker in reducing pain associated with IM injection. Studies have shown that these applications are mostly used in children during vaccination or intravenous interventions. These methods are less commonly used on adults. Both methods without side effects are important in terms of being cheap, easy to use and reusable. As a result of the researches, these methods can provide a more comfortable injection experience and provide evidence for pain management, especially in adults sensitive to pain.
The aim of the study is to use it to reduce pain associated with IM injection in adults.

To evaluate the effect of cold spray and ShotBlocker applications on pain. In this study, it was used to reduce pain associated with IM injection in adults.
It was aimed to evaluate the effect of ShotBlocker and cold spray application on pain. The research is planned to be completed between February 2020 and December 2020. The universe of the study, which was conducted as a randomized controlled trial model, consisted of all adult patients who received diclofenac sodium treatment in Malatya Turgut Özal Medical Center Emergency Service. 195 patients selected by the simple random sampling method (shotBlocker group = 39, shotBlocker placebo = 39 spray groups = 39, spray group placebo = 39, control group = 39) were included in the study. Participant Introduction Form and Visual Benchmarking Scale (VAS) were used to collect data. According to the characteristics of the data In independent groups, t test, ANOVA test, Mann Whitney U test, correlation were measured.

Name Time Method The effect of ShotBlocker on intramuscular pain About 2 months The Visual Benchmark Scale (VAS) is a two-tailed 10 cm long scale used to measure pain, expressed by minimum no pain (0) and maximum very severe pain (10). Within 2 minutes of completing the injection, the individual was asked to mark his pain on the The Visual Benchmark Scale (VAS).
