Abstract INTRODUCTION:Intramuscular (IM) injections are essential for medication delivery but often cause pain and discomfort, leading to anxiety and treatment avoidance. Effective pain management is crucial for enhancing patient experience and adherence. Cryotherapy, a non-pharmacological intervention, has shown promise in reducing pain by numbing the injection site and alleviating discomfort. This study evaluates the effectiveness of cryotherapy in improving the IM injection experience, contributing to a more patient-centered approach in clinical practice.OBJECTIVES: 1.To assess the post test intramuscular injection score among patients in selected hospital.2 To assess the effectiveness of Cryotherapy on experience of intramuscular injection among patients in selected hospital in experimental and control group.3 To compare the effectiveness of Cryotherapy on experience of intramuscular injection among patients in selected hospital in experimental and control group.4To associate the post-test intramuscular injection among patients in selected hospital with their demographic variables in experimental group.MATERIALS AND METHOD: A quasi-experimental type of study design was used i.e. post- test only design to study the effectiveness of cryotherapy on experience of intramuscular injection among patient in selected hospital. The study was carried out in OPD at selected hospital of city. Patient who was receiving vit B12 intramuscular injection on OPD basis were taken as a sample for study. Non-probability (purposive sampling technique) was used to select sample. and total sample size was 72. Control group sample size-36 and Experimental group sample size-36. The data was analysed with descriptive and inferential statestics.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The findings of this study firmly establish that cryotherapy is an exceptionally effective non-pharmacological method for improving experience during intramuscular injections. The statistical analysis unequivocally shows a significant reduction in pain and discomfort among patients who received cryotherapy prior to their injection, in stark contrast to those who did not. Moreover, it is clear that demographic factors such as age and body mass index (BMI) have a substantial impact on pain perception. In contrast, factors such as gender, occupation, co-morbid illnesses, and the duration of diagnosis do not significantly influence pain levels.
