Lullabies may help kids need less sedation for MRI
NCT ID NCT07325331
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether playing lullabies, white noise, or using silent headphones helps children aged 6 months to 12 years relax during MRI scans. Researchers measured how much sedation medicine was needed and how quickly children recovered. The goal was to see if these simple sounds could make the experience safer and more comfortable.
