Patient Pain and Satisfaction During Botulinum Toxin Injections

A randomized clinical trial compared vibratory and topical anesthesia for pain control during cosmetic botulinum toxin A injections in 100 female patients. The dataset includes pain scores measured on a visual analog scale, patient satisfaction ratings, and technique recommendations. Daniel Coelho de Carvalho authored the study, which was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare visual analog scale pain scores between vibration and topical anesthesia groups.
• Analyze patient satisfaction ratings for different anesthetic techniques.
• Model patient recommendations for future anesthetic use based on trial group assignment.
• Investigate the correlation between reported pain levels and patient satisfaction scores.

Strengths

• Data from a randomized, double-blind, split-face trial design with 100 patients.
• Includes specific statistical results (p-values) for pain score comparisons between groups.

Limitations

• Small sample size of 100 patients limits generalizability.
• Dataset scope is limited to a single cosmetic procedure (BoNT-A injections in the upper face).
• Data is contained in a 55.6 KB file, indicating a limited number of records.
