Simple tricks may take the edge off painful cancer biopsy
NCT ID NCT07063498
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two simple, drug-free ways to help reduce pain during bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, a common but painful procedure for diagnosing blood cancers. About 80 adult cancer patients will either fake cough, squeeze a stress ball, or receive standard care during the biopsy. They will then rate their pain on a 0-10 scale. The goal is to see if these easy distraction techniques can make the procedure more comfortable.
