Novel Intervention to Reduce Patient and Caregiver Anxiety Around Radiation Treatment for Brain Tumors With a Customized Neuro-Imaging Referenced Symptom Video
This trial studies whether a customized video intervention can help to reduce anxiety in brain cancer patients undergoing radiation treatment and their caregivers. A customized neuro-imaging referenced symptom video that describes symptoms and side effects specific to the patients' tumor may result in an early and sustained reduction in anxiety and distress during and after radiation treatment, thereby improving quality of life.
