Traction, Pressure, and Rapid Muscle Release (TPR) Technique During Intramuscular Injection: Effects on Pain and Patient Satisfaction

This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of the Traction, Pressure, and Rapid Muscle Release (TPR) technique, an innovative method used during intramuscular vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) injections, on patients' pain and satisfaction levels compared with the conventional injection method.

Nonpharmacological Management of Pain and Fear During Hormone Injection in Breast Cancer Patients

This randomized controlled study will compare the effects of the ShotBlocker device and the Helfer Skin Tap Technique on pain and fear during intramuscular hormone injections in premenopausal and postmenopausal breast cancer patients. Ninety-nine participants will be randomly assigned to three groups (ShotBlocker, Helfer, control). All injections will be administered by the same nurse using standardized procedures. Pain will be assessed with the Visual Analog Scale, and fear with the Injection Fear Scale. The study aims to identify effective nonpharmacological methods to enhance patient comfort, support treatment adherence, and improve nursing care quality.

Aim of my intervention to test the effectiveness of using the manual pressure application and shotblocker for relief insulin injection pain in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus

Sweet-Tasting Solution Versus Placebo to Reduce Pain During Local Anesthetic Injection in Children

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

Does Ethyl Chloride Spray Work?

A procedure frequently performed by orthopaedic providers is the administration of corticosteroid injections for the management of various soft tissues and joint-related conditions, such as osteoarthritis, tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, and de Quervain's tenosynovitis. While these injections have demonstrated effectiveness in alleviating symptoms, the discomfort associated with the procedure can be a source of anxiety and apprehension for patients. This discomfort arises from the sensation of the needle entering the affected area and the burning sensation induced by the corticosteroid solution.
