Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Visual Analogue Scale | VAS is a 11-point psychometric scale that specifies the level of pain. Subject will be shown a photo of a VAS and verbally report a pain score between 0 and 10, which will be captured by a clinic staff. | Baseline | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Self-assessment questionnaire | To evaluate investigator and subject's satisfaction and preference on treatment experience using self-assessment questionnaires on treatment injection with and without comfort intervention | Baseline |
