Study population is 60 children from the age group of 6-12years. BAKER FACES pain scale was used to assess level of pain and Socio demographic data sheet to collect baseline information. Results: Majority 26.7% of the children in the experimental group perceived moderate pain, 18.3% perceived mild pain and only 5.0% had severe pain during intravenous cannulation using cough trick method. 28.3% of the children in the Conventional care group had moderate pain, 11.7% perceived severe pain and only 10.0% had mild pain during intravenous cannulation using Conventional care or routine technique.
