This study tests whether playing personalized music during and after specific surgeries can reduce “emergence agitation,” a period of distress or confusion as a patient wakes up from anesthesia. It may help children feel calmer by using music they connect with.
This study tests whether playing music and reducing noise in the operating room can lower the amount of anesthesia and pain medicine needed for children aged 3 to 18 during surgery. It may help children feel more comfortable and recover more smoothly.
This study tests whether having children color mandala patterns helps reduce pain, stress, and improve sleep while they are in the hospital for burn treatment. It is a randomized controlled trial, meaning some children will do the painting and others will receive usual care to compare effects.
This study tests if coloring mandalas (circular patterns) can help children feel less anxious and have a better view of nurses while in the hospital. It involves a short daily coloring activity for three days.
This study tests whether gentle sensory activities (like calming sounds, sights, and touches) before a doctor's visit can help reduce anxiety and fear in children aged 5 to 10 who are seeing a pediatric surgeon for the first time. It may also help parents feel less anxious.
This study tests whether watching cartoons or getting gentle foot massage (reflexology) can help reduce nausea, pain, and anxiety after surgery in young children. If your child is having a planned surgery and fits the age range, this study might offer a comforting and drug-free way to help them recover more comfortably.
