ANXIETYThis was a multicenter, open-label, randomized crossover trial comparing two treatments, Alprazolam ODT versus conventional alprazolam tablets, in subjects who were already taking conventional immediate-release alprazolam tablets for anxiety. The trial included five study visits (four periods of 7 3 -day duration): Screening (Visit 1), Treatment Period 1 (Visit 2), Treatment Period 2 (Visit 3), Final Visit (Visit 4), and Follow-up (Visit 5 [telephone visit]). At Visit 1, following screening, eligible subjects continued to take their own conventional alprazolam as prescribed by their physician. At Visit 2, eligible subjects were randomized in approximately equal numbers to one of two treatment sequences: Alprazolam ODT/ conventional alprazolam or conventional alprazolam/ Alprazolam ODT. Subjects continued taking alprazolam in accordance with the treatment sequence to which they were assigned, at the same dose regimen as their own prescribed alprazolam. At Visit 3, subjects crossed over to the alternate treatment until Visit 4. At Visit 4, subjects completed the Subject Preference Questionnaire, and a physical examination and clinical laboratory tests were performed. At the end of Visit 4, subjects resumed taking their own conventional alprazolam. The site made a follow-up telephone call 7 - 3 days after Visit 4 to assess the subject's health status.
LEGO MRI: Decreasing the Need for Sedation, and Improving Patient Anxiety.
StressAnesthesia5 moreThe objective of the LEGO®Bricks MRI project is to study a new play-based tool for use in children preparing to undergo MRI and evaluate its ability to reduce the need for anesthesia. A randomized study design will be employed in the experimental "Child Life" (CL) group, in regard to which Child Life intervention patients will have. Age matched controls will be found retrospectively, and will be patients of the same age, undergoing their first non-contrast brain MRI with no Child Life intervention. Patients in the CL group will be prepped by a Certified Child Life Specialist with the use of one of the following 2 tools, to be randomly selected: LEGO Bricks model MRI (A model of the MRI machine and adjacent control room made out of LEGO bricks) Mock MRI tube (A six foot long pop-out play tunnel for children, with a diameter of around 17 inches to simulate the MRI magnet bore)
