First seen Dec 16, 2025 · Last updated Jun 11, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study looked at two common ways to calm children before an endoscopy (a tube with a camera placed inside the body): giving a calming medicine as a nose spray, or letting them watch short videos. Researchers observed 50 children aged 2 to 12 to see which approach worked better at reducing anxiety and the need for extra sedation. The goal is to find the gentlest, most effective way to help kids feel relaxed before their procedure.
