Brain Network Changes in Kids with Brain Tumors After Proton Radiation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how proton radiation affects brain networks in children and teens with brain tumors. It uses MRI scans and computer tasks to understand changes in the brain during and after treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 8 and 21 years old
- You have been newly diagnosed with a brain tumor that will be treated with proton radiation
- You can see well enough to use a computer (with glasses or contacts if needed)
- You do not have a heart pacemaker, programmable shunt, or dental braces that would prevent an MRI
- You do not need sedation (medication) to stay still for an MRI scan

This study tests if a special computer training program, which uses brain activity (neurofeedback) and thinking exercises, can help children who survived a brain tumor improve their attention and memory. If your child struggles with focus or planning after treatment, this may offer extra support.
This trial studies how children’s thinking and learning skills change while they receive proton beam radiation for a brain/spinal cord tumor. It uses computer-based cognitive tests to better understand brain effects during treatment, which may help future care.
This study looks at “brain biomarkers,” meaning brain signals measured on MRI and thinking/learning tests on a computer. It may help researchers understand how brain tumors affect the brain and track changes over time.
This study looks at how proton radiation therapy may affect thinking, learning, and brain function in children and teens with a primary brain tumor. It uses repeated short brain/learning tests to track possible changes over time.
This study looks at how metabolism in a child’s brain tumor changes during proton therapy, using special MRI scans. It may help doctors better understand treatment response and tailor care for pediatric high-grade gliomas.
This study looks at how radiation from brain tumor treatment affects memory, attention, and thinking skills in children. It uses brain scans and tests to understand these effects.
