Best Body Position for Intramuscular Injections
Part of Pain, Skin clinical trials.

This study tests a special muscle-release technique during an intramuscular shot to see if it hurts less and makes patients more satisfied.
This study tests a new way to inject fluid around a tight muscle in the buttock (piriformis) to relieve pain. It uses ultrasound to guide the injection precisely and may help people with ongoing buttock pain.
This trial tests two different injection methods to see which one provides better pain relief after lower back surgery. If you are having a microdiscectomy, this study may help determine the best way to manage your post-operative pain.
This study aims to see how accurate certain physical exams and symptom checklists are for diagnosing Piriformis Syndrome, a condition where a deep buttock muscle presses on a nerve and causes pain. If you have buttock pain that gets worse when sitting or doing certain movements, this trial may help us learn how to better identify this condition.
This trial tests a teaching method called microteaching to help nursing students learn how to give injections in the ventrogluteal site (a safe shot location in the hip). It's for students who are repeating a nursing course and don't have internet at home.
This study tests if a fun, game-like virtual reality (metaverse) lesson helps nursing students learn how to give a ventrogluteal IM injection (a shot in a specific hip muscle). It's for first-year students who have never learned this injection before.
