NCT ID NCT07571278
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether two vibrating devices (Vibraject and Dental Vibe) can reduce pain in children aged 6-8 when they receive a numbing injection for dental work. 90 children will be randomly assigned to get the injection with a vibrating device or a standard syringe. Pain will be measured using child-reported and observer-rated scales. The goal is to find a more comfortable way to deliver local anesthesia.
