Furry friends fight hospital fears: can dogs calm kids?

NCT ID NCT07221006

Summary

This study aims to see if visits from specially trained medical dogs can help children feel less scared and anxious while staying in the hospital. Researchers will compare dog visits to other calming activities like coloring or talking with a specialist. They will measure children's anxiety, fear, and heart rate to see which approach works best.
