Trial Overview

Trial Outcomes

Anxiety of Venipuncture

Participant anxiety was measured by the study participant and the objective observer before (anticipatory), during (venipuncture) and after (recovery) venipuncture using a validated visual analog scale (VAS). The VAS is a validated scale that is used to detect small changes in many types of observations. The scale ranges from 0-100 scores on a scale, and here the higher scores indicate higher anxiety levels. Only the participant's mean venipuncture (during venipuncture) anxiety scores are presented in outcome measure results here. (NCT00676364)
Timeframe: During venipuncture

Pain From Venipuncture

"Pain was measured immediately after venipuncture by the participant using the six-point FACES scale. FACES in not an acronym, but rather a description of a pain scale that uses pictures of faces in various states of pain. The FACES pain scale is a common scale used to measure pain with scores on a scale. The scale we used had six points from zero (0) to five (5) indicating different levels of pain. Lower scores indicate lower levels of pain, and higher scores indicate higher levels of pain." (NCT00676364)
Timeframe: Pain was measured immediately after venipuncture.
