简要总结
The purpose of this study is to compare physical versus visual distractions to determine which technique reduces perceived pain better during local anesthesia injections.
详细描述
Before the local anesthesia injection, patients will be asked to give a preliminary VAS score based on what level of pain 0-10 they anticipate they will feel during the local anesthesia injection. Following the injection the participant will be asked to quantify the pain felt during the injection on a 0-10 Visual analog scale (VAS). The VAS scores will only be taken from the first injection of the appointment. Participants will be asked their gender, race, age, geographic location they spent most of their lives as well. Participants will be de-identified and randomly assigned a number that will be recorded along with their collected data on a two-factor, password protected web server. Information collected during this study may be used for further analysis and publication.
