An ethologically based view into human fear
2023, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Several studies aim to comprehend the role of fear of pain in the etiology of fears, such as fear of dogs, syringes, dentists, or other potentially painful objects and situations. For example, fear of pain is the strongest predictor of fear of dentists (Bradley et al., 2008; Shim et al., 2015), injections (Milgrom et al., 1997), and surgery (Laskin and Carrico, 2019). SIA seems more related to extreme and uncontrollable (Janssen and Arntz, 1997) life-threatening events.

2021, British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The palatal injection causes some discomfort, pain, numbness, and gagging. Of these manifestations, the pain of the injection is known to be poorly tolerated by patients.2,1 Healthcare professionals are trying to master the means of reducing pain using a number of techniques such as the application of topical anaesthetic,5 topical cooling of the palate,6 computerised injection systems,7 pressure administration, and transcutaneous electronic nerve stimulation (TENS).8
