Shaking or cold for less pain during dental shots
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a vibrating tool or a cold pack can help reduce pain when children get a numbing shot at the dentist. If your child needs a simple filling and is generally healthy, this study might help make their experience more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child needs a simple dental filling (no major procedures).
- Your child is generally healthy (ASA I or II).
- Your child does not have learning disabilities.
- Your child was cooperative or a little nervous at the last dental visit.
- You are willing to give permission for your child to be in the study.

This study tests a new computer-controlled injection method for numbing children's back teeth before removal. It aims to reduce pain during the injection and the procedure, making the experience more comfortable for children.
This study tests whether cooling the injection site and using a sweet-tasting solution before the dental numbing shot can reduce pain for children aged 7 to 11. If your child needs a dental procedure requiring a local anesthetic injection, this might help make the experience more comfortable.
This study compares two ways of numbing the lower jaw in children aged 6-8 before common dental treatments. One method uses a traditional syringe, and the other uses a vibrating device called Vibraject to give the painkiller. The goal is to see which method causes less pain and anxiety, making the dental visit easier for children.
This study tests if an electronic syringe causes less pain and anxiety in children during a dental numbing shot compared to a conventional syringe. It is for healthy 6-8 year olds getting their first dental visit and who need a filling on a baby molar on each side of the mouth.
This study tests a new dental injector against a traditional syringe to see which one causes less pain and anxiety for children getting numbed for their first cavity treatment.
This study tests whether using a vibrating device during numbing shots at the dentist reduces pain and discomfort in children. If your child needs dental work on their back teeth and has never been to the dentist before, this might help make the experience more comfortable.
