Background: Nonpharmacological interventions are needed to reduce pain during vaccine administration in infants. Purpose: To determine the effect of the Buzzy device, which is a combination of cold and vibration, on pain during measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine administration in 12-month-old infants. Methods: A prospective randomized controlled experimental research design was used. Results: A total of 60 infants were included in the study. During and after vaccine injection, pain scores of infants who had the Buzzy device were significantly lower than those of infants in the control group (P = .001). Conclusions: Buzzy application may be an effective method in reducing pain during MMR vaccine administration. Use of the device is recommended for infants receiving vaccinations.

“…The use of the cold application to reduce pain has been known for many years. The surrounding body temperature is lowered with this method and the nerve conduction velocity of the C and A-delta fibers is reduced, thus reducing the signal that causes pain [18]. There are numerous studies showing the effectiveness of the vapocoolant spray in mitigating pain.…”

Introduction: Peripheral intravenous (IV) cannulation are routine procedures in emergency department (ED) admissions. Vapocoolant sprays have a potential advantage over other topical agents.We aimed to see how effective vapocoolant spray was in reducing pain during intravenous cannulation versus a control group in this study. Materials and Methods:This is a prospective, randomized control study consisting of patients who were admitted to the ED. The study included patients aged 18 and over who applied to the ED and had IV cannulation. The patients were divided into 2 groups as control and vapocoolant spray groups. Age, gender, and dominant hand status of all patient groups were recorded. Side effects were observed after the application. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), which is the most widely used scale to measure pain, was used.Results: 206 individuals were randomized. The mean age of the vapocoolant spray group was 46.40±16.44 years, while it was 46.75±17.49 years for the control group. The vapocoolant spray group was found to have significantly lower mean VAS values during IV cannulation than the control group (1.47±1.32 vs. 3.97±1.97 p<0.001). It was found that the vapocoolant spray-applied group had a significantly lower percentage in terms of moderate pain (VAS>3 cm) compared to the control group (7.8% vs 58.3%, p<0.001). Besides, the percentage of severe pain (VAS>5.4 cm) in the spray-applied group was found to be significantly lower than the control group (1% vs. 20.4%, p<0.001). Conclusion:The vapocoolant spray can be used effectively to mitigate the pain associated with the pre-IV cannulation procedure and can be an alternative method for reducing pain in emergency departments.

“…The Children's Hospital Association (2019) listed VR as the first of 19 innovations for children's healthcare in 2019. Individual research studies, systematic reviews, and meta‐analyses provide evidence supporting the effectiveness of VR as an engaging, effective distraction intervention for various healthcare procedures including burn wound care (Czech et al, 2022; de Jesus Catalã et al, 2022; Eijlers et al, 2019; Ford et al, 2018; Hoag et al, 2022; Hoffman et al, 2020; Indovina et al, 2018; Lauwens et al, 2020; LeMay et al, 2021; Mahrer & Gold, 2009; Savaş et al, 2023; Vermelho & Curado, 2022; Xiang et al, 2021). Authors recommend that future research conduct more rigorous studies such as randomized controlled trials (RCTs), blind intervention outcomes, test VR throughout the healthcare procedure, compare VR to other distraction interventions, use larger sample sizes and robust statistical analyses, assess engagement with the VR distraction, and determine the best VR devices by factoring in technological evolution, setting, and time of exposure.…”

PurposeThis study compared the effectiveness of age‐appropriate, high technology, interactive virtual reality (VR) distraction with standard care (SC) provided by the nurse on adolescents' acute procedural pain intensity perception during burn wound care treatment in the ambulatory clinic setting.DesignThis randomized controlled trial included 43 adolescents ages 10–21 from the ambulatory burn clinic of a large children's hospital.MethodsBlinded study participants were randomly assigned to either VR or SC (non‐significantly different, current mean burn surface area, 1.3 and 1.7, respectively) during the first burn wound care procedure in the burn clinic. Blinded research staff collected pre‐procedure data including Spielberger's State‐Trait Anxiety Inventory and postprocedure wound care pain intensity using the Adolescent Pediatric Pain Tool. A total of 41 participants completed all study procedures.ResultsNo statistically significant difference in burn wound care procedural pain was noted between the VR and SC groups after adjusting for several factors. Pre‐procedure state and trait anxiety correlated with reported pre‐procedure pain. Wound care pain was found to be significantly associated with pre‐wound care pain score, time from original burn to clinic burn care treatment, and length of wound care treatment. These factors accounted for approximately 45% of the variation in pain scores during wound care treatment.Practice ImplicationsVR distraction can be a useful pain management strategy but may not take the place of the unique nurse‐patient relationship that occurs during clinical encounters. Tailoring pain management during burn wound care requires consideration of anxiety, time from the burn injury to the wound care procedure, length of time of the wound care procedure, and pretreatment pain level. Knowing patients' needs, desires, and temperaments along with the specifics about the healthcare procedures are critical to formulating individualized care plans that may or may not include VR. Newer technology, such as easier‐to‐use, less expensive VR, may assist with translation into practice making its clinical use more routine.
