Summary

This study tested two simple methods to reduce pain and fear in children aged 6-9 when a peripheral IV is removed. One method involved squeezing a stress ball as a distraction, and the other used an alcohol-free silicone spray to gently remove the adhesive tape. The study included 90 children and compared these methods to standard care. The goal was to find easy, non-drug ways to make a common hospital procedure less scary and painful for kids.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
adhesive remover spray and ball squeezing
What this could lead to
If effective, these simple, drug-free methods could help reduce pain and fear in children during IV removal, making hospital stays less stressful.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 90 children, so results may not apply to all kids or settings. The methods are low-risk but may not work for every child.
