Storytime before surgery: could a toy ease Kids' fears?
NCT ID NCT03740841
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study looked at whether an interactive storyteller called LUNII could lower anxiety in children aged 4 to 6 with cleft lip and palate before their bone graft surgery. The goal was to see if using the device before the operation would also reduce pain and shorten hospital stays. The study was terminated early and included only 15 participants, so results are limited.
