Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of a flash of light in different colors on venous cannulation pain: a randomized, controlled trial.
To determine the effects of a flash of light in different colors on the frequency and severity of pain during venous cannulation. ⋯ Application of a blue light flash before venous cannulation decreased the frequency and severity of pain associated with venipuncture. This method is an effective, easy to perform, and inexpensive way to reduce pain during venous cannulation.
