Intramuscular injection is common procedure that nurses frequently carry out which cause pain and distress. Keeping this in view a study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of cold application prior to intramuscular injection on the intensity of pain among adults admitted in selected hospitals of the city. True experimental post test only control design was used for the study. 60 adults (30 experimental group and 30 control group) who were selected by using probability simple random sampling technique. Lottery method was used for the selection of sample. The data was collected by using interview scheduled & modified numerical pain intensity scale. The comparison of intensity of pain in the experimental group & control group reveal that the mean difference score of the experimental group was 3.93 & the control group was 6.40. The calculated‘t’ value at 2.048 at 5% level of significance. Hence the research hypothesis H1 is accepted, thus mean that pain was less in experimental group as compared to control group, means cold application was very effective.
