In the (posted) article quote it 'says' "treatment can ease symptoms"In case you aren't aware, needle phobia is very different to just not liking a needle.
....EH?

For someone who is an extremely "hard poke" when it comes to getting an IV started or simple blood test, I really don't believe there are any actual treatments. Tricks/mind games maybe. Once in a while you can just accidentally skate through a procedure (gaaah, I hate that word) but for people with 'problem veins' I think you're just stuck with a profoundly uncomfortable experience.
