| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Pulse rate assessment. Participants’ pulse rate was recorded using a finger pulse oximeter (Alpha, Prolinx GmbH) at two time points: (1) at baseline, before IANB administration. (2) Immediately after IANB administration. 2. Behavioral pain assessment scale. The face, legs, activity, cry, consolability (FLACC) behavioral pain assessment scale was recorded during IANB administration. 3. Pain rating scale.

Children were presented with a range of faces on the scale and asked to select the one that accurately represented their pain level during the procedure. | — |
