The goal of this study is to learn if an online computerized training program improves processing speed in children with pediatric brain tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Is the cognitive intervention feasible to administer to children with brain tumors during and after cancer treatment? 2. Is the cognitive intervention acceptable to patients and caregivers? 3. Does the cognitive intervention improve neuropsychological functioning?
There is no comparison group for this study.
Participants will:
1. Complete 15 minutes of online computerized cognitive training 5 times a week for 8 weeks. 2. Have weekly check-ins with the cognitive coach. 3. Fill out acceptability surveys at the end of the cognitive intervention. 4. Complete pre- and post- neuropsychological testing.
Patients with a primary tumor located in the brain
Diagnosed between 0 and 25 years of age
Within five years of cancer diagnosis
Receiving care at Johns Hopkins Hospital
None
Single group
Online computerized cognitive training intervention focused on processing speed.
BehavioralThis online cognitive intervention aims to improve processing speed through individualized, computerized cognitive exercises. A cognitive coach selects a set of cognitive exercises for each participant based on identified needs, cognitive ability, and age. Participants complete 15 minutes of training, 5 times per week for 8 weeks, for a target total of approximately 10 hours of training.
Platform Engagement - Logins
Total number of logins recorded over the intervention period.
Platform Engagement - Task Completion
Total number of completed cognitive training levels
Engagement Barriers
Participant-reported engagement and barriers measured using a Likert-scale questionnaire administered weekly during the intervention. Mean total score will be reported. Qualitative feedback regarding barriers and facilitators to engagement will also be collected to provide descriptive context.
Acceptability
Participant-reported acceptability measured using a Likert-scale questionnaire administered at the end of the intervention. Mean total score will be reported. Qualitative feedback regarding participant experience will also be collected to provide descriptive context.
