First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a simple, drug-free method called WASPE to help children aged 0-4 years stay still during radiation therapy for cancer. The method uses activities like watching videos, playing, and eating snacks to keep the child awake and calm. 48 children took part, and the goal was to see if this approach could replace the need for sedation medicine. The results could make treatment easier and safer for young patients.
