This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a simple, 5-minute guided meditation practice — played during each radiation therapy session — can help reduce anxiety in people with brain tumors. Researchers want to see if this mindfulness intervention helps patients feel calmer during treatment compared to standard care without meditation.
Radiation therapy for brain tumors can be stressful and anxiety-provoking for patients. This study exists to find out whether adding a guided meditation practice during treatment sessions could be a simple, free way to help people feel less anxious and more comfortable during their care.

If you join this study, you will be randomly placed in one of two groups: one that listens to a 5-minute guided meditation during each radiation therapy session, or one that receives standard radiation therapy without meditation. Either way, you'll continue your regular radiation appointments (25 to 33 sessions total), and researchers will measure your anxiety levels throughout the study to see if the meditation makes a difference.
