Summary
This study tested two quick, drug-free methods to reduce pain and fear in 120 children aged 4-6 getting intramuscular injections in the emergency department. One method uses a light tapping technique on the skin (Helfer Skin Tap Technique), and the other uses a small plastic device with bumps (ShotBlocker). The goal was to see if these simple tools could make shots less scary and painful for young kids.
