Sweet-Tasting Solution Versus Placebo to Reduce Pain During Local Anesthetic Injection in Children
Sponsor: University of Jordan
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether applying a sugar-free flavored sweet solution (SFSS) before local anesthesia helps reduce injection pain in children. The main question it aims to answer is: Does SFSS reduce pain during dental local anesthesia compared to a placebo (plain water)? Researchers will compare the use of SFSS and a placebo to see which results in lower pain scores. Participants will: Receive SFSS or placebo before local anesthesia during two dental visits Have their pain measured using self-reported and observational pain scales Have their heart rate monitored during the procedure
