First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether showing a short educational video before a subcutaneous injection can reduce anxiety and crying in children aged 3 to 6 with leukemia. Sixty children will be split into three groups: video plus emotional preparation, emotional preparation alone, or standard care. Researchers will measure emotional expression, procedure time, and crying duration.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Video-assisted structured emotional preparation
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to reduce fear and distress in young children with leukemia during needle procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 children, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, not a drug, so the effect may be modest.
