Video games tested to help Kids' brains heal after cancer

NCT ID NCT01503086

Summary

This study is testing whether a home computer training program can help improve thinking skills in children who have had radiation treatment for a brain tumor. It compares two types of computer games—one that adjusts to the child's skill level and one that does not—to see which might be better for memory and attention. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and helpful for improving quality of life after treatment.
