VR headset could replace sedation for scared kids in MRI scans
NCT ID NCT07203716
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if watching a virtual reality (VR) video of an MRI scan before the real thing can help children aged 5 to 10 stay calm and still. About 150 kids having their first MRI will be split into three groups: one watches the VR video at home and again at the hospital, one watches it only at the hospital, and one gets standard care. The goal is to see if VR reduces movement during the scan and the need for sedation.
