Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The purpose of this study was to compare the pain during needle insertion and injection in supraperiosteal anesthesia with either topical anesthesia (control) or LLTT (experimental).

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale (PRS) | The PRS measures the unpleasantness or affective dimension of a child's pain experience and is used in children aged 3-17 years old. The PRS consists of a set of cartoon faces with varying facial expressions ranging from a smile/laughter to tears, and each child is asked to select the facial expression that best represents his/her experience of discomfort. Each face has a numerical value ranging from 0 (smiling face, no hurt) to 5 (crying/screaming face, hurts worst). | 1 year | 
| Face, Legg, Cry, Consolability Scale (FLACC) | The scale comprised the following parameters: (1) Face, (2) Legs, (3) Activity, (4) Cry, and (5) Consolability. Each of the five categories is scored from 0-2, which results in a minimum total score of 0 and maximumof 10. According to this scale: 0=Relaxed and comfortable (no pain); 1-3=Mild discomfort; 4-6=Moderate pain; and 7-10=Severe discomfort or pain [Willis et al., 2003]. Behavioural parameters were recorded. | 1 year |
