NCT ID NCT06445712
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how tough early life experiences might change how children feel pain and later develop emotional or behavioral problems. Thirty-nine kids from a larger study dipped their hand in cold water, once alone and once holding their parent's hand. Researchers measured how long they could stand it and how much pain they reported, along with stress hormone levels, to see if family support makes a difference.
