The target population for the study was patients who all are receiving IM injection in selected hospitals, greater Noida. Convenient samplingTechnique was used during study. Simple size 60 data analysis was done based on objectives and hypothesis of study.

Results: In this research the findings show that maximum number of patients under experimental group selected for the study who satisfied the inclusion criteria were N=12 (40%) where in control group N=13(43.4) were among 40-49 years, followed by N=8(26.7%) in both experimental and control group, were from 30-39 years further N=8(26.7%) in experimental and in control N=7(23.3) were of 20-29 years and N=2(6.7%)in both experimental and control group were of 50-60 years. In this research the researcher has selected N=60 (100%) as adult males both in experimental and control group. The majority of the patient N=22 (73.3%) experimental group N=28(93.3) control group were married, whereas N=8(26.7%) experimental group N= 2(6.2) control group were unmarried. Widower and divorced were N=0 in both experimental and group.The most of the patients lived in rural areas where as N=26 (86.7) experimental group and N=25(83.3) control group, followed by patient lived in urban areas where as N=4(13.3) experimental group N=5 (16.7) control group. Majority were N=11 (36.7%) in experimental group & N=16(53.3%) in the control groups subjects were can read and write & the experimental group N=10 (33.3%) and N=8 (26.7%) of subjects in the control group have no formal education. Whereas N=7 (23.3%) of the subjects in the experimental group and N=5 (16.6%) of the subjects in the control group have middle education. And N=2 (6.7%) experimental group N=1 (3.3%) in control group. Most of the patient were working in experimental group N=16(53.3) same in control group N=19(63.3) whereas N=14(46.7) experimental group N=11(36.6) control were not working. The level of pain perception during IM injection in Experimental group.
