An interventional study of Cold Spray in Pain, Anxiety and Coronary Artery Disease, sponsored by Ozkan Sir. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-12-18.

Coronary angiography is a reliable and valid method used in the diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Coronary angiography is defined as the process of obtaining cineangiographic images by administering radio-opaque material to the coronary vessels via arterial route. Coronary angiography is frequently performed from brachial, radial and femoral arteries. The aim of coronary angiography is to determine the presence, localisation and extent of cardiovascular lesions.
Invasive interventions cause anxiety and pain in the patient, increase the level of anxiety and cause a number of negative effects such as increased use of sedative drugs, development of post-procedure complications, prolongation of the recovery process and hospitalisation time. It is stated that there is a positive relationship between reducing the anxiety of the patients and meeting the needs of the patients.
5,598 studies on the registry are indexed under Coronary Artery Disease; 957 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 80 is below the median of 124 across 3,436 interventional studies indexed under Coronary Artery Disease.

Exclusion Criteria:
Patients in the experimental group were informed that cold spray would be applied to their arm in a supine position to reduce procedure-related pain. For femoral artery angiography, the central part of the inguinal access area was targeted, and for radial angiography, 2 cm above the styloid process of the radial bone was targeted, and cold spray (Chloroethyl spray) was applied for approximately 3 seconds from a height of 10 cm.
Other: Cold Spray
Pain levels recorded with the VAS were evaluated for patients after the procedure using the state anxiety scale. Pain levels for control group patients were also assessed and recorded within the sheath after intravenous solutions were given. Anxiety levels were recorded after the procedure was completed.
Cold Spray: Cold sprays, composed of liquefied gases under high pressure, rapidly evaporate from the applied area, causing a sudden drop in skin temperature. This condition leads to the temporary desensitization of pain receptors or the activation of ion channels, resulting in the brief alleviation of pain sensation. Various medical, non-medical, and surgical methods are employed to manage pain. Cold sprays are among non-medical methods, including massage, cold application, and distraction techniques. Therefore, cold sprays cannot be prescribed like medication. They are used for local anesthesia in cases of acute trauma, injections, blood collection, vein puncture, and similar situations.
Pain levels recorded with the Visual Analog Scale
VAS was used to evaluate the pain of the patients. The scale consists of emotion adjectives in which each emotion experienced by the person at that moment is marked with a vertical line on a plane. A value of zero is considered as not experiencing pain at all, and a value of ten is considered as experiencing pain completely.
