Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyAn integration of vibration and cold relieves venipuncture pain in a pediatric emergency department.
A randomized controlled trial compared a reusable device combining cold and vibration to standard care for pediatric venous access pain relief. ⋯ The combination of cold and vibration decreased venipuncture pain significantly more than standard care without compromising procedural success. A device incorporating these elements could overcome the common barriers to needle procedure pain control.
