No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The use of weighted blankets has been studied in the adult population but there is a lack of evidence to determine their benefit among a pediatric population, specifically oncology pediatric patients. Pediatric oncology patients routinely experience anxiety during therapy and as cure rates increase, attention has progressively turned to treating psychosocial aspects of care.
