NCT ID NCT07336264

First seen Jan 16, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new device that measures pain by looking at changes in pupil size after a gentle electrical stimulation. Researchers will enroll 100 children and teens ages 6 to 21 who are having surgery or bone marrow transplant. The device is non-invasive and does not change any medical treatment. The goal is to find a more objective way to assess pain in young patients.
