A preliminary study on the assessment of pain using figures among patients administered with dental local anesthesia for mandibular third molar extraction

The aim of this study was to clarify or determine any possible association between pain reports with a visual analogue scale (VAS) and a figures based scale. This research was a preliminary study aimed at developing a new pain scale without any verbal description. Healthy Japanese patients aged 20 t...

description The aim of this study was to clarify or determine any possible association between pain reports with a visual analogue scale (VAS) and a figures based scale. This research was a preliminary study aimed at developing a new pain scale without any verbal description. Healthy Japanese patients aged 20 to 39 years who received anesthetic injections for mandibular third molar extraction at our department were enrolled. Regarding pain from dental local anesthetic injections, we recorded figures selected by participants (among options of a circle, triangle, square, bar, and cross), and VAS scores. Overall, 29 men and 31 women participated in the study. Pain caused by local dental anesthesia tended to remind both men and women of the triangle among the suggested figures. Furthermore, patients who chose a cross also reported higher VAS scores than those who chose other figures. Acute pain caused by local dental anesthesia was associated with triangles, and patients who selected a cross were associated with higher VAS scores. The results of this study provide clinicians with important information for dental practice, and could prove useful in developing new pain scales.
