This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial tests whether a structured occupational therapy group programme—called OT SMILE—helps people with primary brain tumours manage symptoms like fatigue and cognitive difficulties while undergoing cancer treatment. The programme focuses on practical strategies to help you participate in meaningful daily activities and manage the challenges that brain tumours and their treatments can cause. Half of participants will receive the six-week group programme, and half will receive standard written information about symptom management.
People with primary brain tumours often experience significant symptom burden including fatigue, memory problems, and difficulty with daily activities—but there is limited evidence about whether structured group occupational therapy can help. This trial aims to fill that gap by testing whether this new treatment approach truly improves quality of life and symptom management.

If you are randomly selected for the therapy group, you will attend six weekly sessions of 90 minutes each, held in small groups of 6–8 people with similar diagnoses. Each session will focus on practical strategies for managing fatigue, improving memory and thinking skills, and helping you do the activities that matter to you. You will continue your regular oncology care throughout the study. If you are in the standard care group, you will receive written information about symptom management and continue your usual cancer treatment as normal.
