First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether simple distractions like pinwheels or bubble blowing can reduce pain and fear in children aged 3 to 6 during a blood draw. About 66 kids will be split into three groups: one using a pinwheel, one blowing bubbles, and one receiving standard care. The goal is to find easy, non-drug ways to make medical procedures less stressful for young children.
