The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ice massage for the relief of the intradermal injection pain.
Thirty three subjects were randomly assigned to control group, directly applied group, counterirritated group. Subjects rated the degree of injection pain before and after each therapy. Visual analogue scale, Korean pain rating scale, and pulse rate were used for measurement of pain.
The results of the study were as follows:
1. The direct ice massage group showed lowest pain score among other groups in KPRS scale, but it was not statistically significant at 0.01 level.
2. The counter-site ice massage group showed lowest pain score among other groups in VAS scale, but it was not statistically significant at 0.01 level.
Therefore ice massage was relatively effective in relieving the intradermal injection pain.
