Summary
This study tested whether live parrots, robotic parrots, or pictures of parrots could reduce pain during blood draws in 240 adults with chronic illnesses. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the three therapies, and their pain levels were measured before and during the procedure. The goal was to see if animal-assisted therapy, even in non-living forms, could make routine blood collection less painful.
