NCT ID NCT07004803
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether watching virtual reality or a tablet video can reduce pain and fear in children aged 4-11 with primary immunodeficiency during the needle stick for their IVIG treatment. 31 children participated, and researchers measured their pain, fear, and vital signs. The goal was to find a simple, drug-free way to make this regular procedure less stressful.
