Effectiveness of Vibratory Versus Cold Stimuli on Pain Perception in Children

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.
