What this trial studies
This research examines the impact of an interactive floor on postoperative pain and mobilization in children aged 3 to 6 years. The study involves two groups: one using the interactive floor during mobilization and a control group using routine methods. Pain scores, mobilization times, peak heart rates, and oxygen saturation levels will be measured before and during mobilization. The goal is to determine if the interactive floor can reduce pain and improve mobilization outcomes compared to standard care.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are children aged 3 to 6 years who are undergoing their first surgical intervention and can walk independently.
Not a fit: Patients who have serious complications post-surgery or health issues preventing them from walking will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly enhance postoperative recovery experiences for children by reducing pain and improving mobilization.
How similar studies have performed: While the use of technology in pain management is gaining traction, this specific approach with an interactive floor is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in similar studies.
