Effect of Patterned Versus Plain Fixation on Pain During IV Therapy in Children
Sponsor: Necmettin Erbakan University
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether using patterned fixation materials during intravenous therapy can reduce pain and affect physiological responses in children. Children who regularly receive intravenous therapy will take part in this study. Each participant will receive both patterned and plain fixation materials on different treatment days. Pain levels will be measured using an observation-based pain scale, and oxygen saturation and pulse rate will be recorded before and after the procedure.

Interventions
