Effectiveness of BrightHearts Biofeedback Relaxation and Virtual Reality Distraction During Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Injection in Children

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

BrightHearts"biofeedback relaxation tool: Before the inferior alveolar nerve block procedure, Participants will be taught to use the application after given instructions. They will be asked to keep a constant color by focusing on breathing slowly, then they will be allowed to use the application a few minutes before the inferior alveolar nerve block procedure

Virtual Reality distraction: participants in this group will experience Virtual Reality distraction eyewear. After giving an introduction about it, they will be allowed to accommodate, then they will be wearing it during the inferior alveolar nerve block procedure in an environment designed to distract them during the injection. The Virtual Reality distraction content will be age-appropriate and engaging, and feature interactive (e.g., Fun animations, and Cartoons).

Verbal distraction technique: The Verbal distraction method technique involves: patient is given an instruction to do in order to divert his/her attention
