This study tests if ukulele lessons help children think better after a brain tumor.

What this means, and what it doesn't
What it could mean: This is one idea being tested to help children after a brain tumor. If your child fits, you could ask their care team about it. The care team can explain if it makes sense for your child.
What it doesn't mean: This does not mean music lessons are proven to help. A trial is a test, not a treatment that is known to work. Taking part is not a promise of any benefit. It is not a promise of a cure.
