Virtual reality cognitive training during brain tumor radiotherapy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
