Animal-Assisted Therapy Reduces Patient Reported Pain During Office Pin Removal Following Supracondylar Humerus Fracture Fixation: A Randomized Controlled Study
Listen to this summary
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of animal-assisted therapy (AAT) in reducing patient-reported pain and behavioral distress during office pin removal following supracondylar humerus fracture fixation in children aged 3 to 10 years. The results indicated that patients who received AAT experienced significantly lower pain and behavioral distress compared to those who did not, suggesting that AAT may serve as a beneficial non-pharmacologic intervention in pediatric orthopaedic procedures.
