Our goal is to provide easy-to-understand information on acute pain management, particularly needle procedures. If you or your child has a needle phobia, newly diagnosed diabetes or leukemia, or just don't want to dread a trip to the doctor, this is for YOU!

Along with quick distraction and pain relief advice, we'll present (and explain) scientific research on medicinal anesthetics, alternative, and natural pain relief. Our pages and links to other resources will discuss specific needle procedures and ways to decrease pain.

As pediatric health care providers and pain researchers, we develop and test pain relief products and ideas like Buzzy. As parents, we believe everyone should know pain control options, and be able to decrease needle pain if doctors or nurses don't. Non-pharmacologic pain control options are well studied, simple and easy to use.
