Overview
Brief Summary
Dear sir or madam
This is a study titled Clinical efficacy of external cold and vibrating device in decreasing pain in children undergoing venipuncture in a paediatric hospital
Needle prick procedures like IV cannulation and venipunctures are essential for diagnosis and treatment for children in hospitals but at the same time most distressful events and this can impact children both emotionally and pscycologically
In this study we use an external cold and vibrating device versus standard hospital care for needle pricks like venipuncture to asses how useful is this device in reduction of pain compared to standard care like distraction while needle pricks
We include children between 3 to 12 years with at least one caregiver and exclude all the children with critical illnesses including bleeding disorders or neuropathy
primary outcome is to evaluate efficacy of the device in reduction of pain as assessed by pain scores and secondary outcomes are to assess acceptance of the device with appropriate likert questionnaire and to assess the level of anxiety of children undergoing venipuncture using children fear scale
randomised active parellel study which is open label
randomisation will be done by computer generated envelopes
sample size was calculated by a pilot study and the sample size is 72 with 36 in each group
ethical committee approval is attatched in this application
kindly do the needful
thank you
