Implication

Randomized controlled study evaluates pain management techniques in children during venipuncture and immunisation, suggesting distraction methods may be effective.

Key Points

  • Children using videos reported the lowest pain levels during invasive procedures, showing a significant reduction compared to the no distraction group.
  • Mean FLACC scores highlighted severe pain in the no distraction group (5.48) versus mild pain in the videos group (3.32), with evidence supporting distraction methods.
  • The study assessed pain through the FLACC scale over two months, involving 100 children aged 7 months to 2 years across four groups.
  • Non-pharmacological interventions like videos and Spinner offer effective pain management solutions for enhancing children's compliance during venipuncture and immunisation.
