Amelioration of Claustrophobia and Disruptive Patient Motion in MR Imaging
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Comfort Talk® for Claustrophobia and Complication of Diagnostic Procedure. Completed, enrolled 97,712 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
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.

Timeline
Interventions
Personnel of MRI units will be trained in advanced rapport skills, patient-centered and hypnoidal language, correct use of suggestions and skills of tension diffusion. This will entail 16 hrs class room work, additional on-site post-training support, and access to a post-training support web module resulting in at least 20 hrs training.
