Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Efficient pain management strategy during local anaesthesia injection can change the perception of dental treatments in children Wearable acupressure clip is the newer device that helps in alleviating pain during intra-oral injections. At the end of this study, we will come to know whether wearable acupressure device is efficient in providing a pain relief in administering intraoral local anaesthesia in comparison to 2% lignocaine gel.Timepoint: Anxiety score will be assesed on first visit using flacc scale and mwfprs and after 7 days washout period on second visit using same parameters as above anxiety will be assesed. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| There will be no difference between the efficacy of wearable acupressure device in comparison with topical lignocaine gel as a method of topical anaesthesia during intraoral local anaesthesia injection procedure.Timepoint: Anxiety score will be checked using flacc scale & mwfprs on 1st day & after 7 days of washout period | — |
