About this study

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the handheld device Grasp, works to reduce pain and distress during small procedures involving a needle prick in children and adolescents. The main question it aims to answer is: Does repetitive squeezing of the Grasp device during the painful procedure affect self-reported pain and distress? Researchers will compare using the Grasp device during procedures where children and adolescent are having a needle prick (venous puncture, insertion of a peripheral venous catheter, local anesthetic injection before dental treatment) with standard care, to see if Grasp works to reduce pain and distress. Participants will: * Use Grasp or standard care during procedures involving a needle prick * Report pain and distress on a paper form before and after the procedure
