Summary

This study looked at why children with hereditary epidermolysis bullosa (a rare condition causing fragile skin and painful blisters) often do not take prescribed opioid painkillers before baths and bandage changes. Researchers interviewed 10 children and their parents to understand the barriers. The goal was to gather insights to improve pain management, not to test a new treatment.
