The phobia of needles is called entetophobia and the phobia of needles and pins is called belonephobia. The medical term Trypanophobia, is rarely used. Tryanophobia refers to an extreme and irrational fear of all the medical procedures that involve use of syringes, injections and even hypodermic needles. The phobia of needles is similar to aichmophobia, that is, a morbid fear of all sharp things. These sharp objects include needles, knives, sharp end of an umbrella and even a pointing finger! However, the term tryanophobia is not used and is generally referred to as phobia of needles or needle phobia.
