ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how patients with cancer feel about a new system that rotates them horizontally at different speeds. The goal is to understand their experiences and acceptance of this rotation, which could help improve treatments in the future. Participants will fill out surveys designed to measure their feelings and experiences during the rotation process.

To be eligible for this trial, you need to be at least 18 years old and have a cancer diagnosis at any stage. You should also be currently or previously treated with radiotherapy. It’s important that you can read and complete questionnaires in English and are willing to follow the study's requirements. However, pregnant women and those with certain medical conditions that might affect their ability to give consent or experience severe dizziness are not eligible. If you choose to participate, you will play a vital role in helping researchers better understand how this rotation affects patients like you.
