A signaling device was given to adult patients to reduce stress in the dental chair. Galvanic skin response during the dental procedures indicated that patients with the signaling device showed more arousal during high stress conditions when compared with a control group. A personality variable was also investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
