Summary

This study tests whether a virtual reality (VR) program used at home can help cancer survivors manage ongoing symptoms like pain, fatigue, anxiety, and depression. About 30 adults who finished cancer treatment at least 3 months ago will use either VR or an audio program daily for 4 weeks. Researchers will compare how each method affects their symptoms.
