Sensory Effects of Rapidly-Changing Magnetic Fields

ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2011

26 participants

Abstract

This study is being conducted to improve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans by reducing the time required for imaging. Experience has shown that unpleasant side-effects from magnetic pulses used in MRI (for example, tingling or tapping sensations) can be reduced when the magnetic pulses are shortened. In this study, we will explore whether this effect holds true when very short magnetic pulses are applied.

Conditions: Sensory Disorders.

Primary outcome: Degree of Discomfort Under Applied Pulsed Magnetic Fields.

Enrollment: 26 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 26 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
