Figure 7-3: Reduction <strong>of</strong> anxiety in treatment<br />

(MD, n=53) and comparator group (UD, n=52).<br />

For both groups anxiety score assessed before<br />

medication was significant higher than score<br />

assessed after MRI examination. There was no<br />

difference in anxiety reduction between the two<br />

groups. VASb: VAS before, VASa: VAS after,<br />

( *): significant (p0.05),<br />

Anxiety score <strong>of</strong> all patients, who completed<br />

the MRI examination (n=105), are displayed<br />

in Figure 7-3.<br />

Between treatment and comparator group,<br />

there was no significant difference in anxiety<br />

score assessed before midazolam<br />

administration (VAS before ).<br />

In both groups (MD and UD) reduction <strong>of</strong><br />

anxiety (VAS before -VAS after ) was significant<br />
