Vibration technology uses the Gate Control Theory of Pain, which is based on the different sizes of your nerve endings. The nerve endings that register temperature and pain are smaller and uninsulated, while those that sense vibration are larger and insulated. This means that the sensations of vibration will travel to your brain more quickly than the sensation of pain.
When vibration is used in conjunction with an injection, the vibrating sensation reaches the brain first and essentially blocks out the sensation of pain from the needle prick.
This is a great solution for those who have dental or needle anxiety, or those who just do not like the feel of the needle.
