The Effects of Nonpharmacological Methods Used in Subcutaneous Application on Pain, Anxiety, and Fear Levels in Children
The Effects of Three Different Nonpharmacological Methods Used in Subcutaneous Application on Pain, Anxiety, and Fear Levels in Children With Oncology Diagnosis
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 9 Sept 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Childhood cancers are increasing globally and require long-term invasive treatments, particularly subcutaneous applications that often cause pain, swelling, and anxiety. Effective pain and anxiety management is essential, as early traumatic experiences may shape children's future pain responses. Nonpharmacological methods-classified as physical, cognitive, and behavioral-are widely used alongside pharmacological strategies due to their safety, cost-effectiveness, and ease of application. Although studies show these methods reduce pain and anxiety, there is still a need for high-quality research comparing multiple approaches across different age groups and procedures. This study aims to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of combined physical, cognitive, and behavioral interventions in managing pain, anxiety, and fear among children with oncological diagnoses undergoing invasive procedures.
