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