Summary

This study tested whether wearing earplugs and an eye mask during an MRI scan can lower anxiety. 72 adults having their first MRI were split into two groups: one used the earplugs and eye mask, the other did not. Researchers measured changes in blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate, and oxygen levels to see if the devices helped people feel calmer.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
earplugs and eye mask
What this could lead to
If it works, this simple, low-cost approach could help reduce anxiety for people undergoing MRI scans.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with 72 participants. The results may not apply to everyone, and the effect on anxiety might be minimal.
