Summary
This study tested two simple ways to reduce pain when children get an IV or blood draw in the emergency department. One method uses a vibrating ice pack called Buzzy, and the other uses a cold spray (vapocoolant). 172 children took part, and their pain was measured using a faces pain scale. The goal was to find which method works best to make needle sticks less scary and painful.
