Summary
This study is testing whether giving children a sensory toy, like a spinner or putty, before surgery can help reduce their anxiety. About 500 children aged 5 to 15 will either get a toy to play with or standard care. Researchers will measure anxiety levels at different points before the operation to see if the toys make a difference.
