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

Animated Procedure Video Reduces Pain and Anxiety Among Pediatric Patients Undergoing Pin Removal Following Supracondylar Fracture Fixation - A Randomized Controlled Trial

NCT07234396•Liaquat National Hospital & Medical College

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Assessing the reduction in pain and anxiety by the use of showing an animated video of the procedure, among pediatric patients undergoing pin removal after fixation of supracondylar fractures.

Detailed Description

Supracondylar fractures requiring K-wire fixation ultimately undergo pin removal after fracture fixation. This is a cause of pain and anxiety to children. This study aims to curtail the aforementioned troubles by distracting the patient using an animated video of the procedure. Patients will be randomized into two arms, and pain and anxiety scales will be implemented before, during, and after the procedure to assess whether a change exists between the two arms.
