NCT ID NCT07246746
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two methods to help anxious patients complete an MRI scan: an infotainment system (like a TV) or hypnosis. Researchers will enroll 50 adults who feel unexpectedly anxious before a brain MRI. The goal is to see which approach helps patients stay calm enough to get clear images for diagnosis.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Infotainment system (Innovision) or hypnosis
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a simple, non-drug way to help anxious patients complete MRI scans without sedation.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The interventions may not reduce anxiety enough to improve scan quality.
