"Buzzy® was effective in reducing the levels of pain relating to the administration of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccination."

The pain score of individuals during the vaccination procedure was found to be significantly lower in the Buzzy group than in the control group and the stress ball group.

A new study from Turkey tested Buzzy against a stress ball and a control group to determine the effect of the vibration technique on pain intensity when applied at the injection site during the administration of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccination.

 

The Test

Researchers assessed the pain score of 120 individuals during the vaccination procedure, comparing the effectiveness of Buzzy, a stress ball, and a control group.  40 were given Buzzy. 40 were given a stress ball. 40 were the control group.

 

The Results

The Buzzy® device was effective in significantly reducing the levels of pain relating to the administration of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccination.

 

The Impact

This is the second adult study showing Buzzy significantly reduces the pain of vaccination in adults, and the first specifically for COVID-19.
