First seen Feb 26, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study tested a needle-free device called INJEX to see if it could reduce pain and anxiety in children aged 6 to 9 during dental numbing shots. Fifty-two kids were randomly assigned to get anesthesia via the needle-free device or a traditional syringe. Researchers measured pain using child-reported and behavioral scales, and anxiety by checking pulse rate. The goal was to find a less scary and less painful way to give local anesthesia for dental work.
