Sponsor's own description

This randomized controlled study evaluates the effect of the Helfer Skin Tap Technique on pain and comfort during ventrogluteal intramuscular injections in adults. Participants aged 18-65 receiving diclofenac sodium injections at the Emergency Department of Yalova Training and Research Hospital will be randomly assigned to the intervention group (Helfer technique) or control group (standard injection). Pain and comfort will be measured using visual analog scales (VAS) before and after the injection. The study aims to provide evidence for improving injection pain management and patient comfort. Participation is voluntary, and all procedures follow ethical guidelines.
