Virtual reality education for young cancer patients and caregivers
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a social virtual reality tool designed to help adolescents and young adults with cancer (and their caregivers) learn about their condition and treatment. It focuses on patients who are newly diagnosed and will receive chemotherapy through a central line.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 12 and 39 years old (adolescent or young adult) with a new cancer or bone marrow failure diagnosis.
- You are scheduled to receive chemotherapy and have a central line (a special IV placed in a large vein).
- You do not have a history of seizures triggered by flashing lights or any head wounds that would make VR unsafe.
- You are willing to use a virtual reality headset as part of your education.
