Summary
This study looked at whether letting children play with sand before a tonsillectomy can lower their anxiety and pain. 68 kids aged 7-10 were split into two groups: one played with sand, the other got standard care. Researchers measured anxiety before surgery and pain after. The goal was to see if this simple, non-drug activity could make surgery less stressful for children.
