Summary

This study looked at two simple ways to help babies feel less pain during a hepatitis B vaccine shot: using a vibrating device on the injection site or gently flicking the skin before the needle. Researchers measured pain, crying time, and vital signs in 80 healthy infants. The goal was to find a drug-free method to make routine vaccinations more comfortable for newborns.
