What this Trial Is About
The goal of this interventional treatment study is to assess the anxiolytic effect of providing guided meditation during radiation treatment (RT) in patients with brain tumors. The main question it aims to answer is: • What is the change in acute anxiety in participants receiving the mindfulness intervention during radiation therapy compared to standard of care control conditions? Participants will be asked to participate in a 5-minute, audio-recorded mindfulness practice that will be played during the administration of each RT session. Researchers will compare this intervention to standard of care (no intervention) during RT.
