NCT ID NCT07520851

First seen May 03, 2026 · Last updated Jun 02, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study tests whether a device called the Buzzy System—a vibrating ice pack shaped like a bee—can reduce pain and fear in children aged 3 to 10 when their elbow fracture pins are removed. About 75 children will be involved, and researchers will measure pain and anxiety using special face scales. The goal is to find a simple, non-drug way to make this procedure less scary and uncomfortable.
