Guided meditation during radiation for brain tumors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for 25 to 33 radiation treatments for your brain tumor.
- You are willing to be in either the meditation group or the standard care group.
- You are able to understand and complete simple thinking and memory tasks.

This study tests whether a guided meditation program during daily radiation therapy can help reduce stress and improve well-being for people with breast or gynecological cancer. You will be randomly assigned to either the meditation group or the usual care group.
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.
This study tests a targeted radiation treatment for brain tumors that have spread from lung cancer and may not have responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if this precise radiation approach can shrink these tumors and improve survival with fewer side effects.
This trial tests giving targeted radiation while surgeons are operating to treat brain metastases. It may help control the cancer locally at the time of surgery, especially for certain single lesions.
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.
This study follows adults with a primary brain tumor to understand how thinking skills and brain images change over time during radiation therapy. It may help researchers measure treatment effects and better track brain changes.
