What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial compares three lying positions before ventrogluteal intramuscular injections to see how position influences patient pain, comfort, and procedural satisfaction. Participants are adults who have recently received an IM injection and meet exclusion criteria, assigned to supine, lateral, or prone pre-injection positioning. Outcomes focus on post-procedure pain, comfort, and satisfaction using standardized assessments. The trial is conducted at Yalova University with a plan to analyze differences among the three positioning groups. No collaborating sites are listed beyond the lead sponsor.
