Summary

This study tests whether blocking out light and sound with an eye mask and earplugs can lower anxiety and stress in people having a lung exam called a bronchoscopy. About 120 adults having the procedure for the first time will be split into two groups: one with sensory isolation and one without. Researchers will measure anxiety levels, heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen to see if this simple approach helps patients feel calmer.
