Pre-medication to help claustrophobic patients complete MRI
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a pre-medicine approach can help people with claustrophobia successfully complete an MRI scan. It may help you avoid having to stop early due to anxiety or panic in the scanner.
