Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Visual Analog Scale (VAS-Anxiety) score
A single consolidated VAS score (0-10) representing the pain experienced during the administration of local anesthetic across all four pin sites. This VAS is administered immediately after the local anesthetic injections are completed. For anxiety-VAS cutoff value = 40: the VAS score is ≥40 in 81% of patients with anxiety (sensitivity); the VAS score is \<40 in 70% of patients without anxiety (specificity); 67% of patients with a VAS score ≥ 40 have anxiety (PPV); 82% of patients with a VAS score \<40 do not have anxiety (NPV).
Visual Analog Scale (VAS-Infiltration) score
A single consolidated VAS score (0-10) representing the pain experienced during the administration of local anesthetic across all four pin sites. This VAS is administered immediately after the local anesthetic injections are completed. For anxiety-VAS cutoff value = 40: the VAS score is ≥40 in 81% of patients with anxiety (sensitivity); the VAS score is \<40 in 70% of patients without anxiety (specificity); 67% of patients with a VAS score ≥ 40 have anxiety (PPV); 82% of patients with a VAS score \<40 do not have anxiety (NPV).
Visual Analog Scale (VAS-Pin Tightening) score
A single consolidated VAS score (0-10) representing the pain experienced during the administration of local anesthetic across all four pin sites. This VAS is administered immediately after the local anesthetic injections are completed. For anxiety-VAS cutoff value = 40: the VAS score is ≥40 in 81% of patients with anxiety (sensitivity); the VAS score is \<40 in 70% of patients without anxiety (specificity); 67% of patients with a VAS score ≥ 40 have anxiety (PPV); 82% of patients with a VAS score \<40 do not have anxiety (NPV).
Visual Analog Scale (VAS-Anxiety Reassessment) score
A single consolidated VAS score (0-10) representing the pain experienced during the administration of local anesthetic across all four pin sites. This VAS is administered immediately after the local anesthetic injections are completed. For anxiety-VAS cutoff value = 40: the VAS score is ≥40 in 81% of patients with anxiety (sensitivity); the VAS score is \<40 in 70% of patients without anxiety (specificity); 67% of patients with a VAS score ≥ 40 have anxiety (PPV); 82% of patients with a VAS score \<40 do not have anxiety (NPV).
Secondary outcomes
Number of Clinically Significant Vasovagal Episodes
Documentation of any vasovagal response characterized by loss of color, sweating, and/or nausea that requires rescue via raising the patient's legs to a height higher than their head.
