First seen Feb 16, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study looks at whether showing parents a short video along with the usual verbal explanation helps them accept a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) for their child who may have meningitis. About 154 parents of children aged 0–12 years in the emergency room will take part. Half will get standard counseling, and the other half will also watch a video. The main goal is to see if the video increases how many parents agree to the procedure.
