Summary

This trial tests whether a brief multisensory stimulation session before a pediatric surgery clinic visit can lower anxiety and fear in children aged 5 to 10, as well as reduce parental anxiety. Children undergoing their first surgical evaluation will be randomly assigned to receive either the stimulation or standard care. The study measures anxiety and fear levels using child-friendly scales to see if this simple, non-drug approach can make medical encounters less stressful.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Multisensory stimulation (a calming combination of sensory inputs, such as soothing sounds, lights, or textures) given before a clinical encounter.
What this could lead to
If effective, this simple, non-drug approach could offer a practical way to ease anxiety and fear in children before medical visits, improving cooperation and the overall experience for families.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, so results may not apply broadly. The effect may be modest, and individual responses to sensory stimulation can vary.
