Impact of cooling diabetic patients’ fingertips compared to vibrating stimulation on pain from the glucometer needle: A cross-over trial study
Vibration stimulation effectively reduces pain associated with glucometer needle insertions. Among the methods examined, vibration stimulation proved to be the most effective for minimizing needle pain. Clinicians are encouraged to incorporate this technique into the care of diabetic patients to enhance their comfort during glucose monitoring.
