The Clinical Journal of Pain, 09/25/09
Baxter AL et al. – The authors' objectives were to determine whether a vibrating cold device decreased adult venipuncture pain on a 10 cm visual analog scale more than no intervention, and compared with vapocoolant analgesia versus no intervention...The combination of cold and vibration gave significant venipuncture pain relief without affecting cannulation success. Interventions were more helpful for those with greater preprocedural fear. Larger sample sizes and a prongless device could better compare equivalence or superiority to existing pain relief modalities.
