AI-Based Video-Mediated Cognitive Preparation in Skin Prick Testing: A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial
This study evaluates the effectiveness of an AI-generated therapeutic storytelling video on pre-procedural anxiety and fear levels in children aged 4 to 10 years undergoing their first Skin Prick Test (SPT).

Participants will be randomized into two groups: an intervention group watching the AI-generated video and a control group receiving standard clinic care
