This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a vibrating device called DigiVibe, used alone or combined with cooling spray, can make steroid injections less painful for people with arthritis or nerve problems in their hands, wrists, or elbows. You're already getting these injections as part of your regular care — this trial simply compares different ways to reduce the pain during the procedure. Each arm receives the injection with a different pain-relief method so you can feel the difference.
Steroid injections are effective treatments, but many patients find them painful. This trial is exploring whether simple, non-drug methods like vibration can make these injections more comfortable and easier to tolerate.

You'll attend a single visit lasting about 20 minutes. You'll receive two steroid injections — one in each arm — which you're already scheduled to get as part of your regular care. For this trial, one arm will receive one pain-relief method (such as no anesthesia, cooling spray, or vibration), and the other arm will receive a different method. After each injection, you'll rate your pain on a simple scale. That's it — the entire visit is quick and fits into your regular treatment appointment.
