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 special computer-controlled injection method to reduce pain and anxiety during extraction of primary (baby) molars in young children ages 5–7. The goal is to make the procedure more comfortable and less frightening.
This study compares three ways of giving numbing shots for dental work in children ages 6–8: a vibrating device, a special syringe, and a regular syringe. Researchers want to see which method causes the least pain and discomfort during the injection.
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 smelling lavender or bitter orange can help children feel less anxious and have less pain when they get a numbing shot at the dentist. It is for children aged 6–12 who are healthy and cooperative.
This trial tests if a vibrating device can reduce pain when children receive numbing shots (local anesthesia) before dental work. It may help make the experience more comfortable for kids who have had numbing shots before and behaved well during them.
