No Placebo-Only Group

Summary

This trial is exploring how different environmental conditions and settings affect people's perceptions, and whether new technologies can help capture these perceptions.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for staff, volunteers, and patients over 18 at the Ohio State University who can consent to participate. Patients must have an imaging study scheduled at Wright Center. It excludes prisoners, non-English speakers, and those unable to consent without a guardian.

What is being tested?

The study tests how different environmental factors like sound, light, smell, vibration, and voice activation in healthcare facilities affect patient experience and imaging quality. It also evaluates new biofeedback technologies for future clinical trials.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on environmental perceptions rather than medical treatments or drugs, traditional side effects are not applicable. Participants may experience discomfort or stress from varied sensory conditions.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Staff populationExperimental Treatment5 Interventions

Staff participants who work in imaging-related healthcare environments will complete survey tools regarding their perception and preference of environmental factors and/or will participate in environmental experiences and provide feedback.

Group II: Patient populationExperimental Treatment5 Interventions

Patient participants will complete a survey tool and either participate in specific environmental experience testing or may be exposed to an environmental experience during the imaging examination. The imaging exam will be assessed in regard to quality factors such as motion artifacts as an indicator of being relaxed during the examination.

Group III: Healthy volunteer populationExperimental Treatment5 Interventions

Healthy volunteer participants will have one of two options for participation: 1. completion of an electronic survey tool to assess the perception and preference of environmental factors (virtual participation) 2. completion of the above survey and participation in environmental experiences and providing feedback about their experience (physical participation)
