My child needs daily injections and doesn't like needles. I found a product called "shot blocker" that helps. It's a piece of flexible plastic with tiny dull "spikes" that's applied to the skin right before the injection, so the patient doesn't feel the needle.
My child prefers to look away during the injection also, so he doesn't see the needle going in. We've also used it for a blood draw, just for placing the needle. My child is usually anxious about blood draws and this helped a lot. I haven't tried it with inoculations yet but intend to.
I don't manufacture or sell this product, but you can easily find it online.

Wow, this sounds amazing. I can see lots of uses for fibromyalgia, peripheral neuropathy, and other nerve diseases. I can't wait to see the continuing research for this!
One good thing coming out of the opioid crisis, is that people are now being force to look at pain management in new and unique ways.

My pediatrician uses it. My kids ask for it every time. I’m not sure why or how it works, but it makes them more cooperative and calmer.

It works the same way rubbing a boo boo makes it feel better- when the nervous system get a strong signal of pressure, it inhibits the pain signals from being sent to the central nervous system.

I tried using this in my office but found it pretty useless. The way it works is it has dull points around the base which cause mild pain, in theory stimulated the pain response in a mild way so the system is already overwhelmed and there is little pain from the shot.
In reality, the kids screamed when I applied the shot blocker and still went hysterical when I actually gave the shot. After trying it for a few months I stopped.

We use it primarily for GH--maybe it works better for that because the needle is so short anyway. I'm sure you know it's important to apply it just a few seconds before inserting the needle.
