NCT ID NCT07425405
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study watches 275 children aged 2-5 who are about to have surgery. Researchers ask parents how much screen time their child gets each day and then measure the child's anxiety right before anesthesia. The goal is to see if more screen time is linked to higher anxiety. No new treatments or changes to care are involved.
