简要总结
This clinical trial explores if using virtual reality (VR) headsets will help to improve patient understanding of their disease and decrease anxiety about treatment. Three-dimensional (3D) images may help the patient visualize their tumor and location better and therefore understand potential side effects. Visualizing a virtual representation of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) linear accelerator (Linac) may decrease treatment related anxiety.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Examine patient reported comprehension of their tumor characteristics and treatment plan following 3D virtual reality review of their imaging.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Examine patient reported treatment related anxiety prior to and following virtual reality (VR) simulation of the MRI Linac treatment process.
OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts.

结局指标
主要结局
Increase in composite knowledge questionnaire score
时间窗: At first on treatment visit (after starting radiation)
Pre- and post-intervention knowledge summary scores and anxiety scores will be summarized using means, standard deviations, and ranges. Average change will be estimated for each group along with 95% confidence intervals and the difference between groups will be estimated with a 95% confidence interval.
次要结局
- General anxiety(At first on treatment visit (after starting radiation))
- MRI specific anxiety(Baseline and after MRI scan at time of planning scan)
- Plan review understanding(Baseline and at first on treatment visit (after starting radiation))
