Pain Clinical Trial - Testing the Effectiveness of a Parent & Child

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study investigates the impact of mindfulness-based intervention for children undergoing a blood-draw and their accompanying parent on (a) child ratings of pain and fear, (b) parent and child ratings of parent distress, and (c) parent perceptions of child pain and fear. Half of the parent-child pairs will receive the mindfulness-based intervention, while half will receive an unfocused-attention task to serve as a comparison with no active component.

Clinical Trial Description

To date, there are no randomized controlled trials (RCT) involving a mindfulness intervention for pediatric acute pain. Moreover, this will be the first study to investigate a parent mindfulness intervention in the context of child acute pain. Within a randomized control trial, the objectives of this study are to test the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based intervention for children undergoing a venipuncture and their accompanying parent on (a) child ratings of pain and fear, (b) parent and child ratings of parent distress, and (c) parent perceptions of child pain and fear. Participants will complete questionnaires immediately before and after child venipuncture. This study aims to offer a novel intervention that may improve both parent and child experience during a stressful situation in which parent and child unmanaged distress has deleterious effects. The long-term objectives of this line of research are to improve extant pain management interventions for children undergoing needle-pokes or other painful procedures. Moderator Aims: To identify possible moderators of a differential treatment outcome (parent and child responses during the needle-poke). These psychological factors include parent and child state catastrophizing, trait experiential avoidance, and trait mindfulness which will be investigated as moderators of the impact of experimental group on the primary outcomes of child self-reported pain and fear, and secondary outcome of parent self-reported distress. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
