Pain level variation during nasal closed reduction: visual analog scale
Timeframe: The "baseline pain" will be assessed before local anesthesia will be administered (at the very beginning of the procedure), whereas the "mean pain" and the "peak pain" will be assessed after the closed reduction is completed.
