Comparing two programs to help brain tumor patients with thinking skills
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests two programs—C-SMART and BE Well—to see which one better helps brain tumor patients who struggle with memory, attention, or other thinking skills. You and your caregiver will participate together in this telehealth-based program.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a patient at the Virginia Commonwealth University Neuro-Oncology clinic.
- You have been diagnosed with a primary brain tumor (confirmed by biopsy or scan review).
- You have some trouble with thinking or memory that is worse than expected for your age and education level.
- You are at least 18 years old and speak English as your main language.
- Your caregiver (a family member or friend) must also be 18+, speak English, and join the study with you.
- You are more than one month past any brain surgery or radiation therapy (if you had them).

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 tests a home-based program called HOBSCOTCH-CA to help with memory and thinking problems after brain cancer treatment. The program uses phone and internet sessions to teach self-management skills.
This study looks at how cancer and its treatment affect thinking and memory. It may help find ways to protect brain function during radiotherapy.
This trial studies how radiotherapy affects memory and thinking in adults with certain brain or skull-base tumors. It may help doctors understand who is most likely to have thinking changes and how to monitor or support patients.
This study looks at whether a computer-based cognitive training program can help improve thinking and memory in children and young adults who have had a brain tumor. It may help to understand how the brain changes with this training and potentially improve daily life.
This study tests a remote program to help with memory and thinking problems caused by a grade 2 or 3 brain tumor. It is for people who have had surgery and are at least 6 months past any radiation or chemotherapy.
