NCT ID NCT05998564
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two non-invasive monitors that track pain in children aged 1-12 during surgery. The monitors measure skin conductance and a pain index to see how well they detect pain events. Researchers compared their readings to find which one is more reliable for guiding pain treatment.
