Gentle injection technique for less pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a special way of giving a muscle injection (called the TPR technique) to see if it causes less pain and is more satisfying for patients. If you need an injection, this may make the experience more comfortable.

This study tests a teaching method called microteaching to train nursing students how to give injections in the buttock area. It may help improve how students learn this important skill.
This study tests a web-based game to help first-year nursing students learn how to give a ventrogluteal injection (a shot in the hip muscle) safely. Participation involves using the game and attending study sessions, and may help you master this important skill.
This study looks at how different lying positions affect pain and comfort during an intramuscular injection, typically in the arm, thigh, or buttock. If you've had an injection recently and are within a healthy weight range, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether adding a special fluid injection around the piriformis muscle to a standard ultrasound-guided injection provides better pain relief for people with piriformis syndrome. If you qualify, you'll receive the injection and be followed for a short time to see how well it works.
This study tests whether a targeted injection, done with ultrasound guidance, can safely reduce buttock pain caused by piriformis syndrome—a condition where a muscle in the buttock presses on a nerve. If you've had buttock pain that sometimes travels down your leg, this treatment might help ease the discomfort.
