Summary
This study tested whether visual or sensory distractions (like videos or toys) help reduce pain and anxiety in 100 healthy children aged 4-6 during a dental numbing shot. Kids were randomly assigned to a distraction group or a no-distraction group. Researchers measured pain and anxiety using child-friendly scales and heart rate monitors to see which approach works best.
