Article Synopsis
- Socially assistive robots (SARs) are being investigated for their potential to reduce pain and anxiety in children during medical procedures, despite varying opinions on their use.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted on 10 randomized controlled trials involving 815 children, examining the effects of SARs during procedures like vaccinations and blood tests.
- Results indicated that children with SARs experienced significantly less anxiety and distress compared to those with standard care, but showed no significant differences in pain or fear levels.
