Evaluation of the Influence of Aromatherapy and Music Therapy on Stress During the Management of Cerebral Arteriography
France224 participantsStarted 2024-11-04
Plain-language summary
Cerebral arteriography is a reference examination in medical imaging. This examination is performed to allow the diagnosis and therapeutic management of patients with vascular pathologies.
It is most often accompanied by a situation of stress, anxiety and apprehension related to the course of the examination or the announcement of the results.
These situations generate physiological reactions in patients, making the performance of cerebral arteriography more complex. In order to improve the quality of care for patients undergoing this invasive examination, it is proposed to use two non-medicinal techniques known for their soothing and relaxing properties: aromatherapy and music therapy alone or in combination. These two techniques will help to establish a common thread from the preparation of the patient before the examination to his return to the post-interventional surveillance room.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
