Summary
This study tested a school program called SocLaLola that uses a comic book to teach children aged 8-11 about pain. The goal was to see if it improves kids' understanding of pain and reduces their fear of moving. Eighty-two students from two primary schools took part. The program included a 60-minute lesson with both talking and activities.
