Reduction of Claustrophobia and Patient Motion After Training of MRI Personnel in Comfort TalkTM

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Claustrophobia, Complication of Diagnostic Procedure

In brief

Annually, an estimated 700,000 patients do not complete their scheduled MRI scans because of claustrophobia or inability to hold still. Training staff working in MRI facilities to provide Comfort Talk® promises to enable patients to complete and obtain high quality imaging without medication, which will increase comfort and reduce sedation risks for the patients, and increase efficiency and reduce loss of revenue for the facilities.
