What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the impact of cast customization on patient satisfaction and pain perception in children with extremity fractures. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either a plain white cast, a color-wrapped cast, or a cast with custom art. The study will measure satisfaction using a visual analog scale and assess pain scores to determine if the type of cast affects these outcomes. By focusing on the pediatric population, the trial seeks to enhance the overall experience of children undergoing treatment for fractures.
