Vibration to ease pain from numbing shots in children
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be healthy and between 6 and 12 years old.
- Your child should be calm and cooperative, not anxious about dental visits.
- Your child must have never had dental treatment before (no fillings, extractions, or cleanings).
- Your child needs dental work on their back teeth that will require numbing injections.
- The treatment must not be urgent, and there should be no active infections in the mouth.

This study tests a vibrating device that may make numbing injections less painful for children during dental procedures. If the child is used to dental visits and needs anesthesia, this device could help reduce their discomfort.
This trial tests if a vibrating cold device called Buzzy Bee can help reduce pain when children receive a numbing shot in the mouth for dental treatment. It may help make the experience less scary and more comfortable for kids.
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 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.
This study tests whether a numbing gel applied to the gums before a dental injection can reduce pain and anxiety in children aged 6 to 8. It aims to make dental visits more comfortable for kids.
This trial tests if a video game-like biofeedback tool (BrightHearts) or virtual reality can help children feel calmer during a numbing injection for dental work. It may be a good fit for healthy kids ages 7–12 who need a shot in the lower jaw.
