Effect of a Non-pharmacological Intervention on Vaccine-related Pain: Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background: Acute pain during vaccine administration is an expected event; however, some strategies, such as the use of high frequency vibration devices associated with cryotherapy, may minimize it.

Aim: Evaluate the effect of high frequency vibration associated with cryotherapy on the level of pain related to the administration of influenza vaccine by intramuscular route in adults.

Method: A randomized clinical trial was conducted with 350 adults who received the influenza vaccine.

Standard Operating Procedure validity on intramuscular vaccine administration in adults: a methodological study.

Objective: to validate a Standard Operating Procedure on the intramuscular vaccine administration technique in adults using high frequency vibration associated with cryotherapy.

Methods: a literature review on intramuscular vaccination practice using a vibration device associated with cryotherapy. Then, a form was created to validate the instrument, detailing the items that were assessed by judges following recommendations in the literature.

Effect of vibration associated with cryotherapy on vaccine-related pain and anxiety levels in adults: study protocol for a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Vaccination is one of the most effective strategies for prevention and eradication of immunopreventable diseases, but community acceptance of vaccination can be influenced by different factors, such as pain and anxiety. The use of high-frequency vibration associated with cryotherapy has been used to manage pain and anxiety during the vaccination process in children, but studies with adults are still scarce. This study aims to evaluate the effect of high-frequency vibration associated with cryotherapy on the levels of self-reported pain and anxiety related to administration of the Influenza vaccine intramuscularly in adults.
