NCT ID NCT02352116
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether giving parents extra face-to-face education about pain management helps reduce their child's pain after day surgery. Researchers will compare two groups of children ages 1-6: one group's parents receive additional teaching, while the other gets standard care. The goal is to see if better-informed parents lead to less pain and higher satisfaction for their children.
