Effect of the DentalVibe Injections System on Pain During Local Anesthesia Injections in Children
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating DentalVibe for Pain. Completed, enrolled 23 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Title: Effect of the DentalVibe injection system on pain during local anesthesia injections in children. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare self-reported pain scale measurements using the Wong-Baker FACES pain rating scale from an experimental group (local anesthesia injection with DentalVibe system) and a control group (traditional local anesthesia injection with DentalVibe system turned off) in children. Eligibility: Children age 5-11 years old who require local anesthesia for bilateral dental treatment at University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) pediatric dental clinic. Children must understand and speak English. Interventions and evaluations: Each patient will have two separate restorative appointments where the DentalVibe will be used during local anesthetic injections. One appointment the DentalVibe will be turned on and one appointment the DentalVibe will be turned off. After each injection the child will be shown the Wong Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale and asked to pick a face associated with their level of hurt during the injection. Follow-up: All children will be followed up with any necessary recommended dental treatment.
