Video coaching to ease anxiety during brain tumor radiation
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a personalized video meant to reduce stress and anxiety for people getting radiation for brain tumors, and for their caregivers. You and your caregiver would complete short questionnaires before and after using the video support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re an adult (18+) with newly diagnosed glioma that needs a 6-week course of radiation after surgery
- You have an MRI scan of your brain after surgery, with and without contrast, within 4 weeks before radiation starts
- You and your caregiver can read and answer questionnaires in English
- A caregiver age 18+ will be with you for the study and agrees to join
- You (and your caregiver) must be able to answer questions—no major thinking or severe emotional problems that stop you
- Your physical functioning should be high enough to take part (Karnofsky score 60 or higher)

This study looks at the emotional and mental health of people with glioblastoma (a type of brain tumor) or head and neck cancer who are getting a long course of radiation therapy. The goal is to understand how they are feeling so doctors can provide better support.
This study tests a remote program to help with memory and thinking problems caused by a grade 2 or 3 brain tumor. It is for people who have had surgery and are at least 6 months past any radiation or chemotherapy.
This trial tests whether guided meditation can help people with brain tumors feel better during radiation therapy. You'll be randomly assigned to either meditation sessions or standard care, and researchers will see how it affects your well-being.
This study tests a virtual reality (VR) education program to help patients feel less anxious about their radiation therapy. It aims to make the treatment experience less stressful by preparing you with information in a calming, immersive way.
This study compares different ways of showing educational videos to patients before radiation therapy. Researchers want to understand which video format helps patients feel less anxious and understand their treatment better.
This trial tests whether a computer-based cognitive training program in a virtual reality setting can help children think and learn while they are getting radiation for a brain tumor. You and a parent will decide together if it’s a good fit, and the child must be able to complete the study tasks.
