NCT ID NCT03453723
First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated Jun 18, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study tested whether a simple hypnosis technique called the 'magic glove' can prevent pain in children aged 7 to 14 when they receive propofol, a common anesthesia drug. The magic glove was compared to lidocaine, a numbing medicine. Researchers filmed children's reactions during injection and scored their pain. The goal was to find a non-drug way to reduce pain during anesthesia induction.
