Virtual reality training for brain cancer survivors with memory issues
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if playing a virtual reality game at home for 4 weeks can help improve memory and thinking in people who have finished treatment for low-grade glioma. It compares the VR game to doing word search puzzles.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a low-grade glioma and finished all treatment (surgery, chemo, radiation, immunotherapy) between 1 month and 2 years ago.
- You have mild memory or thinking problems (scoring 18 to 25 on a short memory test called MoCA).
- You are 18 or older and speak English.
- You can play a VR game or do word puzzles at home for about 20–30 minutes, 6 days a week, for 4 weeks.
- You do not have a serious mental illness (like schizophrenia), recent stroke, or a condition that prevents using a VR headset (like a pacemaker or severe motion sickness).

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 trial tests whether virtual reality exercises can help improve thinking and memory problems caused by cancer or its treatment. It is for people with cancer who have noticed changes in their thinking skills.
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 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 tests whether a virtual reality program that combines thinking exercises and movement can help people with early memory problems or cognitive concerns. Researchers want to see if it's easy to use, helpful, and something people would actually want to do.
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.
