Summary

This study looks at whether a video game that guides children through breathing exercises can reduce pain, fear, and anxiety during a routine blood draw. About 60 children aged 7 to 12 will be randomly assigned to either use the game during the procedure or receive standard care. Researchers will measure their pain, fear, and anxiety before, during, and right after the blood draw.
