Summary
This study tested two simple, drug-free methods to reduce pain in babies during routine vaccinations. 108 infants aged 2-6 months were given either white noise, a vibrating Buzzy device, or standard care. Pain was measured using a standard scale. The goal was to find easy ways to make shots less painful for babies.
