Summary

Aim: The aim of this research will to examine the effect of the local vibration technique applied to the injection site during subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) injection. Methods: The patients will randomly assigned to an experimental (vibration) group , a placebo control group, and a nonintervention control group. Participants in the experimental group will give slight vibration to the injection site before the injection will administered; for participants in the placebo group, the device will placed on the injection site but with the vibration button kept switched off, while for the nonintervention control group, routine subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin injection will administered. The level of pain felt by the participants during the administration of the injection will assess with a visual analog scale.

Conditions

• Pain
• Asthma
• Pulmonary Disease
• Chest Disorder

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Vibration	The device was used to provide vibration with the participants in this group. This device, designed as a combination of cold application and local vibration to reduce pain experienced during invasive procedures, is frequently chosen for all age groups.
OTHER	Placebo	The device was used with participants in this group. The device, at room temperature, was placed by the researcher 5cm proximal to the injection site before the injection was performed. With participants in this group, the device was placed on the procedure site, but no vibration was made. The device was held on the participants for one minute before the injection and throughout the procedure, with the vibration switched off.
