Dance and street art may ease pain from bullying in kids
NCT ID NCT05380141
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether art and movement workshops could help 8 children with unexplained chronic pain who had been bullied at school. The workshops combined dance-like movement and creating a street-art mural. Researchers measured self-esteem and pain before and after the program. The goal was to see if these activities could boost confidence and reduce pain's impact on daily life.
