Overview

Comparative study examines skin stretching effectiveness in reducing pain during insulin injections, suggesting improved patient comfort.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of skin stretching compared to conventional injection techniques in reducing pain during insulin injections.
  • Comparative study among diabetic patients attending the outpatient department
  • Participants trained to perform tight skin stretching before injection
  • Pain intensity measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0–10.
  • Skin stretching technique resulted in lower pain scores (VAS 2.1 ± 0.9) compared to conventional method (VAS 5.6 ± 1.2, p <0.05)
  • Pain reduction was consistent across various patient demographics and injection sites.
