NCT ID: NCT05894187 Recruiting - Paediatric Surgery Clinical Trials

The Impact of an Animated Video on Preoperative Anxiety in Children Undergoing Elective Otoplasty

Start date: June 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study is a prospective, randomized, single-blind controlled superiority trial to evaluate the effect of viewing an informative animated video a day prior to surgery on preoperative anxiety in pediatric patients scheduled for elective otoplasty. The primary outcome will be modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS) score at the time of general anesthesia induction compared between families that were assigned to view the animated video the day before and those that were not. The participants for this study will be children undergoing elective otoplasty at the IWK Health Centre. Those participants randomized to the intervention group will receive a link to a short survey gauging parent anxiety levels. The survey will be followed by a link to an informative animated video which the participants and their families will watch. The control group will be participants assigned not to receive the email link to the informative animated video.

NCT ID: NCT01858142 Completed - Clinical trials for Pre-operative Anxiety

Helping Parents to Decide Whether They Want to be With Their Child During Anesthesia Induction

PPDT
Start date: June 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Children are distressed at anesthesia induction and this distress can result in maladaptive recovery outcomes. Having parents be present at anesthesia induction (PPIA) has been suggested as a potential intervention to decrease children's distress, and this intervention is widely favored by parents. However, to date, PPIA has not been found to be effective in reducing children's anxiety. The lack of efficacy may be attributable to the fact that parents have generally not been prepared for PPIA. The one study that prepared parents (as part of a larger preoperative preparation program) found that PPIA with preparation was superior to PPIA as previously studied (without preparation). Unfortunately, this program is resource intensive and therefore is not clinically feasible. This study will compare PPIA with a clinically feasible preparation program to PPIA with standard care (minimal preparation). Should our intervention show evidence of efficacy, the investigators will have designed a program that is easily translatable to everyday clinical practice. This will, in turn, reduce children's anxiety, improve postoperative outcomes and increase parental satisfaction.

NCT ID: NCT00643032 Not yet recruiting - Post-Operative Pain Clinical Trials

Preoperative Anxiety and Postoperative Pain in Children

Start date: March 2008
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

We wish to study which method of local injection of analgesic (before or during surgery) is the more effective method to reduce post-operative pain in children. In addition, we wish to study which pre-operative educational intervention is more effective in reducing anxiety in children and their family.

NCT ID: NCT00609960 Completed - Clinical trials for Pre Operative Anxiety

Clowns as Treatment for Preoperative Anxiety in Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Start date: January 2006
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study wants to test the hypothesis that trained clowns can reduce anxiety in children undergoing general anesthesia. We will compare the effect of the clowns to the commonly used anti-anxiety medication we commonly use
