Interventions

  • Virtual Reality System — OTHER
    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.
  • Word Search Puzzles — OTHER
    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.

Study Details

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.

Arms

  • Experimental: Experimental (Virtual Reality - VR)
    Experimental (VR) Participants ONLY: Participants randomized to using Virtual Reality-Cognitive Rehab Training (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.
  • Active Comparator: Control (WSP)
    Control (WSP) Participants ONLY: 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.

Primary Outcome Measure

Feasibility defined as >80% (> 16 participants out of 20) able to complete the experimental arm study in 4 weeks. [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
