About this study

Official title: Effect of Shotblocker and Palm Stimulator in Reducing Pain Associated With Intramuscular Injection: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study discusses the advancements in nursing, particularly focusing on intramuscular injections, their complications, and innovative non-pharmacological methods such as the Shotblocker and palm stimulator to reduce pain. These methods, based on the gate control theory, aim to minimize discomfort during injections by applying tactile stimulation, which has proven effective in various studies.

Read the detailed description

It was planned to examine the effect of shot blocker and palm stimulator use on injection-related pain during intramuscular injection.This study is a randomized controlled, single-blind, parallel group experimental study to be conducted in the emergency department of a State Hospital in Konya, Turkey. The research will be conducted on individuals who will receive intramuscular (IM) injection. Participants will be randomized and divided into Shotblocker, Palm stimulator and control groups. Data collection will run from April 2024 to May 2024 and analyzes will be conducted blinded by an independent statistician. This study aims to evaluate the effects of these techniques on pain and anxiety.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Visual analog scale (VAS) pain Scale score

    The Visual analog scale (VAS) score for grading of pain consists of a 10 centimetres (cm) line with 10 mm (0.01 cm) to each point of the scale and two end-points representing no pain and worst possible pain, where 0 = no pain, 1-3 = mild, 4-6 = moderate and 7-10 = severe pain

    Measured: up to 6 weeks
