Status: Recruiting. It is looking for patients now. Talk to your care team about whether it fits you.

The short version
This trial is testing whether patients and their caregivers exercising together helps both of them feel better in body and mind.
Who this trial is for. This trial is for people with a primary brain tumor and the caregivers who help them. It tests a supervised group program called Exercise Together, where the patient and caregiver exercise as partners using strength moves aimed at the muscles people use in daily life.
Where it stands. The trial is looking at whether this program is safe, workable, and helpful for the mental and physical health of both people. This kind of exercise program has been studied in people with other cancers, but not in people with primary brain tumors or their caregivers. The trial has not reported results.
What this means, and what it doesn't
What it could mean: Brain tumor care is hard on the patient and on the caregiver. This trial asks whether working out together helps them both, and whether it helps them work as a team. If this sounds like a fit for you and the person who helps you, you could ask your care team about it.
What it doesn't mean: This does not mean the exercise program is proven to help. A trial is a test. The answer is not known yet. Joining a trial does not promise that you or your caregiver will feel better. This is not a cure, and it is not a replacement for your brain tumor treatment.
