No-Needle naptime: playful prep helps toddlers skip sedation during radiation

This study tested a simple, drug-free method called WASPE to help children aged 0-4 years stay still during radiation therapy. Instead of using sedation, the children watched videos, played outside, stayed awake, played with toys, and ate snacks before treatment. The goal was to see if this approach could help them complete their radiation sessions without needing medicine. The study involved 48 children with non-head-and-neck tumors and measured how often they could finish treatment without sedation.
