Melatonin reduces pediatric anxiety, painThe impact of oral melatonin on pain and anxiety reduction during venipuncture in pediatric patients: a double-blind randomized clinical trial.
We focused on the effects of oral melatonin on anxiety and pain in children during the stressful process of venipuncture. In a double-blind, randomized controlled trial, we found that administering 0.5 mg/kg of melatonin 30 minutes before the procedure significantly reduced both pain and anxiety levels compared to a placebo.
The results showed that only 18.8% of the kids receiving melatonin reported pain, while 78.2% in the placebo group did. Furthermore, anxiety affected 44.6% of the melatonin group compared to 94.1% of those in the control group.
While melatonin appeared to improve experiences during venipuncture, its impact on the success rate was not statistically significant.

Wonderful! HEALTHY SLEEP FROM ONE CAPSULE!! Excellent remedy for insomnia and anxiety. I bought it for my parents to ensure they get restful sleep. My father had become quite irritable due to sleepless nights. We bought the drug on a doctor's recommendation, taking one capsule at bedtime as directed. The capsule size is small, and the taste is neutral. The quality and rich ingredients, including excellent Melatonin, have worked wonders. After taking them for 2 months, everything returned to normal; they now experience calm sleep and are no longer irritable. I plan to order more soon to keep in the first aid kit.
