Corona vaccines can change the rules of the game in the face of the epidemic
Injections are one of the most common methods of vaccination and vaccine administration, but there are many people who experience extreme fear when receiving injections.
A recent study found that moving your facial muscles while receiving an injection or vaccine would reduce the intensity of pain, causing fear among many people about receiving injections.
And contribute to smile, or frown, according to the newspaper “Daily Mail”, to raise the level of positive feelings in a person, which can play a role in reducing pain.
During the study, researchers at the University of California sought to explore how different ways of smiling affect the experience of receiving a vaccine.
Scientists found that a true smile, which reaches the movement of the associated muscles up to the eye, can reduce injection pain by about 40 percent.
The importance of the study is increasing today with the discovery of vaccines against the emerging corona virus, which are expected to be widely distributed around the world.
According to the study authors, this may be “the first experimental test to show that a normal response to pain is beneficial in enhancing the personal experience of pain.”
The team added that the results will be the same if the person makes a face, due to the similarity of muscle movement in the cases of smiling and frowning.
“Smiling has previously been shown to improve the response to stress,” the study said. We reiterate and expand this work, testing whether smiling helps with strong stressors in the real world.
The study included 231 volunteers with an average age of 19 years.
The volunteers were asked to display various forms of smiles, frowns, and neutral expressions while receiving a placebo injection.
Follow-up of trial participants while receiving the injection showed better responses to those who smiled or grimaced while receiving the injection.
