First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study tested whether a simple hypnosis technique called the 'magic glove' can prevent pain in children aged 7 to 14 when they receive propofol, a common anesthesia drug. Researchers compared it to lidocaine, a standard numbing medicine. The goal was to see which method works better to reduce pain during injection, using video recordings to score children's reactions.
