ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying whether an "interactive floor" can help reduce pain and improve movement in children after surgery. The interactive floor is a fun, engaging surface that encourages kids to play and move around, which may help them feel better after their operation. Researchers want to find out if children who use the interactive floor experience less pain, can move for longer periods, have a lower heart rate, and maintain better oxygen levels compared to those who don’t use it.

To participate in the study, children need to be between 3 and 6 years old, able to walk on their own, and must be having their first surgery for specific conditions. Parents will need to agree to let their child take part. If a child has serious health issues or has had multiple surgeries, they may not be eligible. Families that join can expect a unique and enjoyable way for their child to recover after surgery, while also helping researchers learn more about effective pain management and rehabilitation for young patients.
