NCT06959823

Brief Summary

Pain and anxiety are common responses in pediatric patients undergoing invasive procedures and can negatively affect both immediate care outcomes and future health-care experiences. Non-pharmacological interventions, especially those involving multisensory distraction, are increasingly used to alleviate distress. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel, child-friendly, multisensory support device in reducing pain and anxiety in pediatric surgical patients. Keywords: child, pain, anxiety, distraction, pediatrics, innovative device
