Reframing Needle-Related Pain: Randomized Clinical Trial of a Parent-Led Memory-Reframing Intervention
Abstract
The present research study aims to examine the efficacy of a brief parent-led memory reframing intervention to foster more adaptive (i.e., more accurate and positive) pain memories and less future needle pain and fear for a two-series needle procedure (approved vaccines to protect against COVID-19; e.g., BioNTech Pfizer). The intervention will draw from recent data and extant memory reframing and narrative-based intervention techniques to promote more accurate/positive pain memories by teaching parents more adaptive styles of reminiscing with their children about a needle procedure (i.e., a COVID-19 vaccine).
Conditions: Pain, Procedural.
Primary outcome: Memory for pain during the first vaccination; Memory for pain-related fear during the first vaccination; Child pain during the second vaccination; Child pain-related fear during the second vaccination.
Enrollment: 77 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 77 participants or records.
