Brief Title: Serious Gaming for Chemotherapy-induced Nausea and Vomiting
Official Title: Serious Gaming for Chemotherapy-induced Nausea and Vomiting in Older Adults With Cancer: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Study ID: NCT05838638
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a technology-based intervention for managing nausea and vomiting in older adults with cancer. Participants will be randomized to either an intervention or control group. Outcomes such as symptom severity, quality of life, and resource use will be examined.
Detailed Description: The goal of this study is to increase the use of preventative self-management behaviors for nausea and vomiting in older adults receiving chemotherapy to reduce negative outcomes and emergency or hospital admissions. Early reinforcement of standard education and re-framing any preconceived beliefs about the ability of nausea and vomiting to be managed will increase preventative self-management behaviors and improve patient outcomes. Participants will be in the study for 6 chemotherapy treatment cycles. This could be 12 to 24 weeks depending on if they receive treatment every 2, 3 or 4 weeks.
