Findings from pain scale
FPS. No significant difference was found
between no-music and music groups in average
faces pain score at T0 (P=0.41) and T3
(P=0.78).
FLACC scale. No-music and music groups
showed no significant difference in mean
value of FLACC scores at the end of T2
(P=0.19) and T3 (P=0.79). The improvement
in average pain score is higher in music than
in no-music group (P=0.05).
No difference in pain intensity score was
noted between the two groups at the end of T2
(P=0.2) and T3 (P=0.29). In the music group a
higher number of children reported no or mild
pain at T3 (P=0.008); these patients however
resulted to be older than those with moderate
or severe pain in the behavioral score
(P=0.05).
