Brain scans reveal hidden effects of proton therapy in kids
NCT ID NCT05288439
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how proton beam radiation affects brain networks and thinking in children and young adults (ages 6-25) treated for brain tumors. Researchers will use special MRI scans taken at rest, along with thinking tests and quality-of-life questionnaires, to compare patients with healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand if radiation causes changes in brain connections that may affect memory or attention.
