About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effectiveness of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) Therapies in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Medical Resonance Imagining (MRI) Studies

The investigators conducted a prospective open unblinded clinical four-arm evaluation of Complementary and Alternate Medicine (CAM) interventions on children 1-12 years of age who were undergoing imaging by Medical Resonance Imaging(MRI) and receiving parenteral sedation. Children were assigned to active music therapy, passive music therapy, distraction therapy, and no intervention; measures included doses and numbers of sedation medications, time of sedation, and salivary levels of the stress hormone cortisol and pro-inflammatory cytokines, before and immediately after the intervention was completed. The Time Frame for the outcome measures are at the start of the intervention and immediately following the procedure (generally about 150 minutes). No further follow up was conducted.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Need for sedation medications for MRI is reduced

    Intervention is performed prior to sedation. Following sedation, the patient undergoes MRI. After the MRI is completed, the amount of sedation given to the patient is recorded. No other follow up is required.

    Measured: The Time Frame for the outcome measures are at the start of the intervention and immediately following the procedure (average about 150 minutes). No further follow up was conducted.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To measure the effect of the interventions on salivary cortisol and inflammatory cytokines

    The aim of this measure was to determine if the interventions changed the levels of salivary cortisol and inflammatory cytokines

    Measured: Saliva samples were collected before the intervention and then after the MRI was performed (average about 150 minutes).

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Need for sedation medications for MRI is reduced (time frame: The Time Frame for the outcome measures are at the start of the intervention and immediately following the procedure (average about 150 minutes). No further follow up was conducted.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
