Summary
This study looks at whether a musical-moving toy can lower fear and help IV insertion go more smoothly in children ages 4 to 6 who have hard-to-find veins. About 70 kids will be randomly assigned to either get the toy during the procedure or receive standard care. Researchers will measure fear levels, how many attempts are needed, and how long the procedure takes.
