The Effect of Sensory Isolation on Anxiety in Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Turkey (Türkiye)72 participantsStarted 2025-10-01

Plain-language summary

The aim of this study is to determine whether the use of earplugs and eye masks in adults reduces anxiety during Manyetic Resonance Imaging. In addition, in order to evaluate the effect of earplugs and eye masks on the physiological symptoms of anxiety, the pulse rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and saturation value of adults will be measured before and after imaging. H0: Earplugs and eye masks have no effect on state anxiety levels. H1: Earplugs and eye masks have an effect on state anxiety levels. H2: Earplugs and eye masks have an effect on heart rate. H3: Earplugs and eye masks have an effect on respiratory rate. H4: Earplugs and eye masks have an effect on systolic blood pressure. H5: Earplugs and eye masks have an effect on diastolic blood pressure. H6: Earplugs and eye masks have an effect on saturation values.

Exclusion Criteria: * Those under 18 and over 65 years of age * Patients who cannot tolerate MRI scans (those who require sedation/medication during the scan * Patients with hearing or vision impairments, * Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, * Individuals with severe comorbidities, * Individuals with acute/chronic pain who are using analgesics, * Individuals who cannot wear earplugs or eye patches (e.g., those with active ear infections, eye infections, or phobias), * Individuals who refuse to participate in the study will not be included in the study.

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.
