Comparing a Virtual Reality–Based Simulation App (VR-MRI) With a Standard Preparatory Manual and Child Life Program for Improving Success and Reducing Anxiety During Pediatric Medical Imaging: Randomized Clinical Trial (Preprint)
Abstract:BACKGROUND
Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging is anxiety-provoking, particularly for pediatric patients and their families. Anxiety and non-compliance (ie, movement during imaging) are often managed with sedation; however, the psychological, physiological, and health systems impacts related to sedation have necessitated alternative methods to improve success with non-sedated MR imaging.
