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.

This study tests a simple breathing exercise (called cardiac coherence) to see if it helps people who feel claustrophobic complete their MRI scan more comfortably and get better images. It might help you by giving you a tool to relax during the scan.
This trial tests an internet-based therapy to help people who feel anxious about getting an MRI scan. It aims to make the experience easier by providing coping strategies online.
This trial tests whether a “cardiac coherence” relaxation session can lower anxiety before and during an MRI scan. It may help people who feel very anxious about MRI procedures complete the scan more comfortably.
This study tests whether watching a movie or listening to music during a brain MRI can help people who feel anxious about the scan. It is for adults who are having their first brain MRI and feel nervous about it.
This trial tests a liquid sedation medicine (called dexmedetomidine) that your child drinks before an MRI. The goal is to see if it works as well as general anesthesia to keep children still during the scan, with fewer side effects.
This trial tests if listening to an audio hypnosis recording can help children and teens feel less anxious during an MRI scan. If it works, it could offer a drug-free way to help young patients stay calm during the exam.
