Study Summary

Children with chronic diseases, particularly those who have received transplantation (e.g. cardiac, renal, or liver) are a population who undergo frequent painful procedures, such as venipuncture multiple times per week. There is currently no standard of care for pain reduction during venipuncture for pediatric patients having blood drawn in phlebotomy as an outpatient. The study aims to determine the efficacy of distraction in reducing procedural pain and distress associated with venipuncture in pediatric post-transplant patients.

Primary Outcome

Faces Pain Scale is a self-report measure of pain intensity developed for children. The scale is intended to measure how children feel inside. "0" equals "No pain" and "10" equals "Very much pain."
