Reducing children’s anxiety and pain in dental environment using an eye massage device combined with natural sounds—a randomized controlled trial by Dajma Abed, Jamila Bchara, Dani Abed, Jina Alfeel, Nada Bshara

“…Anxiety and pain were assessed before, during, and after anesthesia using the Children’s Fear Scale (CFS), Wong-Baker pain rating scale (WBS), the Face-Legs-Activity-Cry-Consolability (FLACC) observational pain assessment scale, and pulse rate as a physiological scale. Anxiety and pain significantly decreased in groups A and B compared with those in the control group (p < 0.05), with group A showing a greater decrease in pulse rate and objective pain assessed during injection via the FLACC scale than group B (p < 0.05); however, no significant difference was noted between groups A and B regarding the data recorded after anesthesia using the WBS and CFS (p > 0.05). …”
