First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a hypnosis session before and during a cardiac MRI can reduce anxiety and improve image quality. Researchers will compare anxious patients who receive hypnosis to those who do not, measuring how clear the images are and how many artifacts appear. If successful, hypnosis could be a simple, drug-free way to help anxious patients get better heart scans.
