Table 2.

Comparison of Wong–Baker Facial Pain Score (WBFPS) score in both the groups after third and sixth laser session

Group 1 Group 2
After three sessions (n = 39) After six sessions (n = 35) After three sessions (n = 40) After six sessions (n = 32)
WBFPS 10 0 (0.00%) 0 (0.00%) 0 (0.00%) 0 (0.00%)
WBFPS 8 11 (28.21%) 2 (5.71%) 0 (0.00%) 0 (0.00%)
WBFPS 6 25 (64.10%) 13 (37.14%) 20 (50%) 1 (3.13%)
WBFPS 4 1 (2.56%) 15 (42.86%) 19 (47.50%) 6 (18.75%)
WBFPS 2 1 (2.56%) 4 (11.43%) 1 (2.50%) 23 (71.88%)
WBFPS 0 0 (0.00%) 1 (2.86%) 0 (0.00%) 2 (6.25%)

After three sessions, majority of patients (approximately 57%) reported score of 6 on WBFPS scale. Approximately one-third patients in group 1 reported scores of 8 and 10, whereas no patient in group 2 had similar scores. This comparison between two groups was found to be statistically significant (P < 0.0001). After six sessions, approximately 72% patients in group 2 versus 11% patients in group 1 reported WBFPS 2. Higher number of patients in was satisfied with combination treatment than single laser treatment on WBFPS score (P < 0.0001)
