 We report six cases in which a claustrophobic patient complained of severe anxiety in regard to an arm cast immediately after it was applied. We discussed the possibility of cast discomfort related to their claustrophobia with the patients. Splints were applied instead of the casts, and the patients were able to see part of their forearm through the splints. This modification was effective in reducing both their anxiety and feeling of being trapped, and in obtaining their cooperation in regard to treatment.
