Maen severity of pain prior to the treatment in the case and control groups were 9.86+0.40 and 6.42+ 0.19 respectively. This defference was not statistically significant (P<0.12) means for severity of pain 30 and 90 minutes after treatment in case group were 203+ 0.76 and 1.02+2.63 and in control group 5.94+4 and 6.7+4.19 respectively. The differences in means were statistically significant in both groups (P<0.001). There was no pain after injection of D/W wheras oney 34% of the patients in control group had no pain. No certain complications were observed in two groups, except for severe but transienc pain at the time of injection.
