Parental mindset may shape Kids' pain after surgery
NCT ID NCT07381673
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether parents' confidence in letting their child be independent affects how much pain children feel after minor surgery. About 150 children aged 3 to 18 and their parents took part at a hospital in Turkey. Parents filled out questionnaires, and children's pain was measured using a simple pain scale. No treatments were given—the goal was simply to learn more about how family support can improve care.
