Conditions

Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate whether internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) can help patients who have difficulty undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The main question to be answered is \- Can patients undergo MRI with less anxiety using iCBT? The patients will undergo a four-week treatment that includes information about MRI, anxiety management, relaxation and retention. The end goal is to simulate an MRI scan in a mock scanner where participants can report their anxiety. Half of the participants will be randomized to receive the treatment before (intervention group) the simulated MRI scan and half will receive the treatment after the simulated MRI scan (control group). Up to 60 patients will be included plus some pilot patients.
