Conditions

Summary

The aim of this study is to determine whether the use of earplugs and eye masks in adults reduces anxiety during Manyetic Resonance Imaging. In addition, in order to evaluate the effect of earplugs and eye masks on the physiological symptoms of anxiety, the pulse rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and saturation value of adults will be measured before and after imaging. H0: Earplugs and eye masks have no effect on state anxiety levels. H1: Earplugs and eye masks have an effect on state anxiety levels. H2: Earplugs and eye masks have an effect on heart rate. H3: Earplugs and eye masks have an effect on respiratory rate. H4: Earplugs and eye masks have an effect on systolic blood pressure. H5: Earplugs and eye masks have an effect on diastolic blood pressure. H6: Earplugs and eye masks have an effect on saturation values.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study looks at whether blocking out sensory input — using earplugs and an eye mask — during an MRI scan helps reduce anxiety in people having their first MRI experience. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 18 and 65 years old - This is your first time having an MRI scan - Your MRI is a scheduled (non-emergency) scan lasting at least 30 minutes - You can communicate verbally - You are not currently hospitalized **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have hearing or vision impairments - You need sedation or medication to tolerate the MRI - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - You have severe health conditions - You have active ear or eye infections, or a phobia that prevents wearing earplugs or an eye mask - You are taking pain medication for acute or chronic pain Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
