Shake it off: can a simple maraca ease Toddlers' fear of needles?

NCT ID NCT07248852

Summary

This study is testing if a simple, active distraction can help reduce pain and fear when young children get a blood draw or IV. Researchers will have children aged 1 to 3 years shake a maraca with their free arm during the procedure to see if it helps them feel less pain and need less restraint. The goal is to find a better way to help toddlers cope with this common but scary medical experience.
