Shortened eutectic mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine plus skin cooling for pediatric vaccination pain: A randomized non-inferiority trial

Figure 2 Mean Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale scores over time by treatment group. Pain scores were recorded before injection, immediately after injection, and 5 minutes after injection. The solid lines represent the mean pain scores for each group, and the shaded bands represent the 95% confidence intervals. The participants in group A received a eutectic mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine for 40 minutes, and those in group B received the eutectic mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine for 20 minutes plus skin cooling for 30 seconds.
