Summary
This study tests whether aromatherapy (ylang ylang essential oil) and music therapy can lower stress in 224 adults undergoing cerebral arteriography, a brain imaging procedure. Participants will receive standard care plus one or both calming techniques. The goal is to see if these non-drug approaches make the exam less stressful and more comfortable.
