Buzz off, needle pain: vibration gadgets tested on kids at the dentist
NCT ID NCT07384923
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two vibrating devices—one placed inside the mouth and one outside—to see if they reduce pain and discomfort when children get numbing injections at the dentist. Twenty healthy, cooperative kids aged 6 to 12 will receive both devices on different sides of their mouth. Researchers will measure heart rate, pain scores, and behavior to see which device works better.
