Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Visual analogue scale grade. Timepoint: Visual analog scale score measurement immediately after the intervention.

Timepoint: Measure the score of sound, eye, body movement, immediately after the intervention. Method of measurement: sound, eye, body movement grade: a pain measurement tool that measures pain intensity based on three characteristics of sound, eye movements and body movement. The amount of pain shows a number between 0 and 9, which we consider 3 points for each characteristic.
