Summary
This study tested two simple methods—mechanical vibration and gentle finger tapping—to reduce pain and crying in 80 healthy babies receiving their second hepatitis B vaccine. Researchers measured pain scores, heart rate, oxygen levels, and crying duration before, during, and after the injection. The goal was to find a drug-free way to make routine shots less stressful for infants.
