Audio distraction and acupoint stimulation for kids during tooth extraction
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two non-drug methods to help children feel less pain and worry during a tooth extraction: an audio-video distraction (like a movie or music) and a special pressure point (acupoint) stimulation on the hand. It aims to see which approach works best for kids ages 5 to 8 who need a baby tooth removed.
