Evaluation of the Effects of LUNII on Pre-operative Anxiety and on the Post-operative Period in Children With Cleft Lip and Palate Admitted for Alveolar Bone Graft: Pilot Study

The literature on the effects of various devices on per-operative anxiety is scarce. There is currently no study on the effects of an interactive storyteller on per-operative anxiety in pediatric surgery. The interactive story teller LUNII (available over the counter in France) would reduce pre-operative anxiety, with post-operative effects on pain and hospitalization time.

The interactive story teller LUNII (available over the counter in France) would reduce pre-operative anxiety, with post-operative effects on pain and hospitalization time. Patients admitted for an alveolar bone graft with an iliac donor site as part of the treatment of their cleft lip and palate will be include for two reasons: It is a homogeneous population - same condition, same treatment, same age at surgery, standardized procedure; It is a population with long individual medical histories and, potentially, subjected to significant surgery-related stress. Patients will be randomized into two groups: with LUNII and without LUNII. In the LUNII group, the interactive story teller LUNII will be delivered the day before surgery during the pre-operative medical visit.

The interactive story teller LUNII is delivered to the child the day before surgery, during the usual pre-operative medical visit.

Use of the interactive story teller LUNII by the child from the pre-operative visit to the discharge.

Questionnaire, completed in the operating room by an independent observer preferably without knowledge about the child, made of 22 items divided into 5 categories. The score ranges from 5 (minimum anxiety) to 20 (maximum anxiety)

Self-assessment of pain by a graduated ruler of 0 (no pain) at 100 millimeters (maximum pain imaginable), twice a day during hospitalization
