First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether personalized music therapy can help children aged 5 to 12 and their parents cope with repeated needle procedures, such as blood tests or injections. The therapy involves preparatory sessions where the child and parent learn music-based strategies to feel safe and regulated, followed by real-time music support during procedures. The goal is to reduce distress and improve emotional coping for both the child and the parent.
