Testing a psychological support video call for brain cancer patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether a video call with a specially trained nurse can help relieve emotional distress in people being treated for a primary brain tumor (a cancer that started in the brain) whose cancer has already been treated with a first-line therapy like surgery, chemo, or radiation. The study looks at patients who still feel significant distress, measured by a simple distress thermometer.
