    Title
    PAViR: Using Virtual Reality to Increase Physical Activity in Youths with Cancer
    Associated Disease(s)
    Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors
    Description (Summary)
    The purpose of this project is test whether a physical activity intervention we have developed leads people to be more active and whether it is an acceptable intervention. We plan to enroll up to 15 patient participants and their caregivers at the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. This study will help us learn more about using virtual reality during treatment and whether this intervention is feasible and can help increase physical activity during treatment. Virtual reality is an intervention that uses a headset and games that can be played in a way that feels real to the player. Participants will wear a headset to listen to and play games from a select list of options. Virtual reality is similar to a 3D videogame. In this intervention, participants will put on a headset and headphones and experience the game of their choosing.

Why participate in clinical trials?

"The steady improvement in survival for children with cancer is a direct result of their enrollment onto clinical trials; without which we would remain decades behind in terms of scientific advances in pediatric cancer." ~Michael J. Burke, MD
