First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether distracting boys aged 7-10 with a goldfish or a kaleidoscope while they are being taken to the operating room for circumcision can help reduce their fear, anxiety, and pain, and make them more comfortable. Researchers compared these two fun activities to the usual hospital routine. The goal was to find simple, non-drug ways to help children feel better before a procedure.
