Title External thermomechanical device delivering stimuli Title External thermomechanical device without delivering stimuli Title Nail injection with ethyl chloride skin refrigerant spray
Description The thermomechanical device is placed on the digit proximally to the injection site with the ice wings frozen and the vibration mechanism switched on. Description The thermomechanical device is placed on the digit proximally to the injection site with the ice wings at room temperature (unfrozen) and the vibration mechanism switched off. Description Ethyl chloride skin refrigerant spray is applied to the area of injection immediately before needle insertion

Name External thermomechanical device delivering cold and vibration stimuli Name External thermomechanical device without delivering cold and vibration stimuli Name Ethyl chloride skin refrigerant spray
Description the thermomechanical device will be placed on the digit 2 cm proximally to the injection site with the ice wings frozen and the vibration mechanism switched on, delivering vibration and cold stimuli to the area for 30 seconds before the intramatricial injection and until needle withdrawal Description the thermomechanical device will be placed on the digit 2 cm proximally to the injection site with the ice wings at unfrozen and the vibration mechanism switched off, for 30 seconds before the intramatricial injection and until needle withdrawal Description Ethyl chloride skin refrigerant spray is applied to the area of injection for 3 seconds immediately before needle insertion

Design Outcomes

Sequence: 176822459 Sequence: 176822460
Outcome Type primary Outcome Type secondary
Measure The level of pain and change in pain between each time point will be assessed using the Wong-Baker FACES scale with use of thermomechanical device delivering stimuli, without delivering stimuli, and with use of ethyl chloride skin refrigerant spray. Measure Number of participants with at least one adverse event
Time Frame prior to treatment, immediately after the needle insertion, during infiltration and 5 seconds after needle extraction Time Frame Patients will be followed for 3 days following their nail injection
Description Pain will be self-reported, using the Wong-Baker FACES (0-10, with 0 representing absence of pain and 10 unbearable pain). Participants will be questioned about their level of pain in their nail prior to treatment, immediately after the needle insertion, during infiltration, and 5 seconds after needle extraction Description Adverse events will only include those that are determined to be related to the study device
