NCT ID NCT06954883
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether wearing augmented reality goggles during a tooth extraction could help children aged 6 to 10 feel less pain and anxiety. Sixty kids were split into two groups: one used the goggles as a distraction, while the other received standard care. The goal was to see if a fun, high-tech distraction could make dental visits easier for young patients.
