Virtual reality brain games for brain cancer survivors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether playing a virtual reality (VR) game or doing word search puzzles at home can help improve thinking and memory for people who have finished treatment for low-grade glioma (a type of brain tumor). It looks at how practical and effective these activities are.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a low-grade glioma (a slow-growing brain tumor) and finished all treatments, like surgery, radiation, or chemo, within the past 2 years (but at least 30 days ago).
- You have some mild memory or thinking problems (a score of 18-25 on a screening test called MoCA).
- You are 18 or older, speak English, and can make your own decisions about joining the study.
- You are willing to play the VR game or do word puzzles at home for about 10-15 minutes a day, 6 days a week, for 4 weeks.
- You have a reliable phone number for the study team to reach you.
- You do not have a history of serious mental illness (like bipolar disorder or schizophrenia), certain brain conditions (like Alzheimer's or stroke-related issues), or severe vision problems (unless corrected with glasses).

This trial tests whether using virtual reality (VR) can help older adults recover their thinking and memory after a serious illness and confusion in the ICU. You may be eligible if you are 50 or older, spent time on a breathing machine, and had delirium in the ICU.
This study tests whether immersive virtual reality training can improve thinking and concentration in adults who have had ongoing thinking problems after chemotherapy. It may help by using guided VR tasks that aim to support cognitive skills during recovery.
This study uses virtual reality to help cancer patients improve memory, attention, and other thinking skills. It may help if you have noticed changes in your thinking after your cancer diagnosis or treatment.
This study tests a digital program to help with memory and thinking problems that some people experience after cancer treatment. It is designed for survivors who finished chemotherapy recently and have access to a computer or tablet at home.
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 whether a virtual home-based exercise program can improve thinking and memory problems caused by brain tumor treatment in teens and young adults. It also looks at how exercise affects gut health.
