The short version
This study tests a coaching program that supports people with a brain tumor.
Who this trial is for. This study is for people who have been told they have a brain tumor. It tests a support program called ASCENT, built on a type of therapy called acceptance and commitment therapy. People in the study take part in 6 coaching sessions.
Where it stands. This trial has not reported results. It is testing two things. First, whether the program can actually be carried out. Second, whether patients find it helpful. People fill out short surveys at four different time points. Some are also asked to share feedback in interviews. The answers are not in yet.
What this means, and what it doesn't
What it could mean: Support programs like this one aim to help people cope after a brain tumor diagnosis. If this sounds like it fits you, you could ask your care team about it.
What it doesn't mean: This does not mean the program is proven to help. A trial is a test, not care your doctor can give you yet. Being in a trial does not promise you any benefit. It is not a cure.
