Animated Video and Associated Pain and Anxiety Reduction, Following Pin Removal Post-supracondylar Fracture Fixation

◆ AI Clinical Summary

This study looks at whether watching an animated video about a procedure helps children feel less pain and anxiety when having pins removed from their arm after a supracondylar fracture has healed. Researchers will compare pain and anxiety levels in children who watch the video before the procedure to those who don't. The goal is to see if this simple video approach can help make the experience more comfortable for young patients.

Key Objective: This trial tests whether an animated video can reduce pain and anxiety in children undergoing pin removal after supracondylar fracture surgery.

Who to Consider: Children who have had pins placed to fix a supracondylar fracture and are scheduled for pin removal should consider enrolling.
