This study tests two simple methods—tapping the skin or using a vibrating device—during an intramuscular shot to see if they help reduce pain and fear in children ages 5 to 10. The goal is to make injections less scary and more comfortable.
This study tests two ways to reduce pain when a 12-month-old gets a routine vaccine shot: using a cold spray on the skin or tapping the skin before the injection. It aims to find which method helps babies feel less discomfort.
This trial tests different ways to help partners of pregnant people get the Tdap vaccine (a shot that protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough). The goal is to find the best way to increase vaccination rates among partners, which can help protect the newborn from whooping cough.
This study tests a vaccine that protects against three diseases—diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough—given during pregnancy. Researchers want to see if the vaccine is safe for pregnant women and their babies, and whether it helps protect newborns.
This study tests whether rhythmic tapping and gentle vibration near the skin can help children ages 6–12 feel less pain and fear during blood draws. Researchers want to see if these simple techniques can make the procedure more comfortable.
This study tests whether giving pregnant women a special tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis vaccine (TdaP2gen) helps protect their babies from these diseases. Researchers will follow mothers and infants for up to 18 months to measure how well the vaccine works.
