Summary

This study explores whether virtual reality (VR) can make cognitive training more engaging and effective for children aged 8-22 who are receiving radiation for brain tumors. About 45 participants will be randomly assigned to do brain exercises on an iPad or in a VR headset. Researchers will track how many kids stick with the training, any side effects like dizziness, and whether VR leads to better thinking skills and brain activity changes. The goal is to see if VR is a safe, fun way to protect cognitive function during cancer treatment.
