Summary

This study looks at whether giving children a small prize after a medical procedure helps lower their anxiety. About 187 children aged 6 to 17 will be observed and asked to rate their fear. A child life specialist will support them before and during the procedure. Researchers will compare anxiety levels between those who get a prize and those who do not.
