Highest pain level during the procedure. Pain level was assessed with Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability scale (FLACC). This diagram shows the distribution of FLACC scores per drug. The median (IQR) of highest FLACC with patients receiving intranasal dexmedetomidine was 4 (3-6) and nitrous oxide 4 (2-6), p-value 0.41. The median of the difference between samples from each group for FLACC was 0 with 95%CI (0–1) which is within the predefined limit for non-inferiority
