This trial tests whether using virtual reality (VR) during the placement of a long IV line (called a PICC or midline) can reduce pain, stress, and anxiety. If you are getting this procedure for the first time, VR might help you feel more comfortable.
This study tests a fun storytelling-and-paper-folding method called 'storigami' to see if it helps children feel less pain, fear, and worry when they get an IV. It's for children who need an IV for the first time during this hospital visit.
This trial tests whether using ultrasound or infrared light makes it easier to place an IV line in people whose veins are hard to see or feel. It compares these methods to the usual way of placing an IV.
This trial is studying whether using ultrasound to guide the placement of a PICC line (a tube into a vein) is safer and more accurate. It also checks the vein's health at the same time.
