NCT ID NCT06994637

Summary

This study tested if using simple toys could make blood draws easier for young children. Researchers gave 120 children aged 4-6 either a liquid hourglass to watch or a spiky ball to hold during the procedure. They measured if these toys helped reduce the children's pain, fear, and anxiety compared to a standard blood draw.
