Abstract

Background: Acupressure, which is related to acupuncture, is a noninvasive therapy suitable for use in children. However, data examining acupressure's effects on the pain of local anesthetic injection in children are sparse.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate acupressure's effects on the pain of local anesthetic injection in children.

Methods: This randomized, double-blind, parallel-group clinical study included 37 5- to 10-year-olds who had an inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) for a mandibular extraction and were randomized to one of two groups: acupressure (study group) or non-acupressure (control group). The Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale (WBFPS) and the Sound, Eye, Motor (SEM) scale were utilized for subjective and objective pain assessment during injection.

Results: The objective and subjective assessment of pain during injection significantly differed between the groups, with the acupressure group displaying lower scores.

Conclusion: Acupressure at the extra one point (EX-HN1) reduced pain during IANB injection in 5- to 10-year-olds and can be used as an adjunct to conventional measures like topical anesthesia to reduce pain.

穴位压力对5-10岁儿童下牙槽神经阻滞注射疼痛的影响——一项实验研究。

背景：穴位压力是一种适合儿童使用的无创疗法，与针灸有关。然而，研究穴位按压对儿童局部麻醉注射疼痛影响的数据很少。目的：本研究旨在评估穴位按压对儿童局部麻醉注射疼痛的影响。方法：这项随机、双盲、平行组的临床研究包括37名5至10岁的下颌下牙槽神经阻滞（IANB）患者，他们被随机分为两组之一：指压法（研究组）或非指压法法（对照组）。Wong Baker面部疼痛评定量表（WBFPS）和声音、眼睛、运动量表（SEM）用于注射过程中的主观和客观疼痛评估。结果：两组对注射过程中疼痛的客观和主观评估存在显著差异，穴位按压组的得分较低。结论：额外一点穴位压力（EX-HN1）减轻了5至10岁儿童注射IANB时的疼痛，可作为常规措施（如局部麻醉）的辅助措施来减轻疼痛。
