Summary

Local anesthesia is an anxiety-provoking procedure. Pain control is important for effective behavior guidance, specially among pediatric patients.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Buzzy® as a topical anesthetic in pain perception through two ways: once using vibration mode without the cold pack and the other using the cold pack without vibration and comparing it to topical anesthetic gel during different anesthetic techniques Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial involving 72 healthy cooperative patients aged 5-9 years. They will be allocated to receive local anesthesia either using the vibration mode of Buzzy Bee (test group) or the cold pack of Buzzy Bee (test group) or conventional topical anesthetic gel (control group). Pain response will be assessed using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and SEM scale.

Conditions

  • Pain Perception

Interventions

OTHER

topical anesthetic gel

gels applied directly to the mucous membranes to provide localized relief of pain by numbing the area. They typically contain active ingredients such as lidocaine, benzocaine, or prilocaine, which work by blocking nerve signals to reduce sensation and discomfort

OTHER

Vibration

The vibration generated by the Buzzy device functions as a non-pharmacological agent that can reduce pain perception in children based on the principles of the Gate Control Theory of Pain.

OTHER

Cold pack

cold packs are also provided by the Buzzy device. they act as non-pharmacological agents that can reduce pain perception in children based on the Gate Control Theory of Pain.
