Animated video for kids having elbow pins removed
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether watching a short animated video before getting metal pins removed from a broken elbow can help reduce pain and anxiety in children. It compares the video to the usual care, which is just talking to the child.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 and 12 years old.
- Your child had surgery for a broken elbow (supracondylar fracture) and has metal pins (K-wires) in place.
- Your child does not have a genetic syndrome (like Down syndrome).
- Your child has no vision or learning problems that would make it hard to watch a video.
- Your child has not had any complications (like infection or nerve issues) before the pin removal appointment.
- The pin removal will be done without general anesthesia (your child will be awake).

This study tests if a child life specialist can help reduce anxiety when children have pins removed from their arm after a fracture. If your child is between 3 and 10, had a specific arm fracture treated with pins at Boston Children's Hospital, and speaks English, they may be eligible.
This trial is testing two ways of using small wires (K-wires) to hold a child's broken elbow bone in place after it's been set. The goal is to see which method keeps the bone correctly aligned as it heals.
This study compares two treatments—casting or an operation—for a specific elbow fracture in children. It aims to see which approach works best for healing and recovery after a recent fracture.
This trial studies whether using small metal K-wires during surgery for certain elbow (olecranon) fractures improves outcomes compared with not using them. You may be eligible if your injury matches the trial’s fracture type and surgery timing, and you can attend follow-up visits and answer questionnaires.
This trial tests three different methods (implants) to fix the elbow bone after it is cut during surgery. It aims to find which one works best for healing and recovery.
This study tests whether a vibrating device called Buzzy can help reduce pain and fear when children have pins removed from their elbow after a fracture. Buzzy uses gentle vibration and cold to distract from discomfort during the procedure.
