ViSPad Supportive Care Study for Brain Tumor Patients - Clinical Trial
What is the Purpose of this Study?
We are doing this study to find out the practicality of using a new program called ViSPad on an electronic tablet. We want to know if this program can help reduce anxiety for cancer patients who are having imaging scans done (for example, MRI).
