Summary

The study is focused on assessing the feasibility and effect of a virtual reality training intervention for improving the survivorship journey of brain cancer survivors, post-treatment. The gaming intervention is intended to reduce cognitive impairment, while increasing well-being, mental health, and quality of life.

Detailed description

This study is focused on assessing the feasibility, acceptability and effect of a virtual reality training intervention for improving the survivorship journey of brain cancer survivors, post-treatment. The gaming intervention is intended to reduce cognitive impairment, while increasing well-being, mental health, and quality of life. In sum, the potential impact of this research is to realize the capability of virtual reality cognitive rehabilitation training (VR-CRT) by mitigating brain cancer survivors (BCS) cognitive decline, while improving overall quality of life (QOL).

Conditions

• Brain Cancer

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Virtual Reality System	Participants randomized to using VR-CRT will have the game already installed/uploaded in the VR headset and ready for use, with their pre-determined participant number for user login and password assigned.
OTHER	Word Search Puzzles	Participants randomized to the control group will have their WSP packet with pre-selected word puzzles that provide a cognitive stimulus but without an increase in complexity. The instructions provided will state how participants should complete the WSP day-by-day. The dated completed WSPs, along with weekly check-ins by the study CRC will constitute the record for the participant's progress over four weeks. CRCs will notify the PI via email if during the call the participant indicates they have missed any of the WSPs during a given week.
