Magic show to reduce pain and fear during needle procedures

This study tests whether watching a magic show called 'Kuco' during a needle procedure (like getting blood drawn or an IV) helps children aged 5 to 8 feel less pain and fear. If your child needs a needle and can watch the show, they might be eligible to join.
