In this single arm, open label study, investigators will evaluate the feasibility of using the Cereset (formerly known as HIRREM - high-resolution relational, resonance-based electroencephalic mirroring) intervention for a stressed population confronting an acute burden on their lives - caregivers of newly diagnosed high-grade glioma patients. The Cereset intervention is a closed-loop acoustic stimulation intervention that has been studied in patients with PTSD, insomnia, postural orthostatic tachycardia, and military veterans.
Primary Objective:
• To determine the feasibility of completing the prescribed Cereset Research Office intervention for trial participants in this single arm, open label study.
Secondary Objectives
Exploratory Objectives

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intervention with Ambulatory Therapy | Experimental | Caregivers of participants with high-grade glioma will undergo standard Cereset Research Office (CRO) in-office treatment for a total of five (5) treatments. Ambulatory therapy with the Cereset Research Wearable (CRW) will be available to caregivers while they are attending routine radiation therapy with glioma patients. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cereset Research Wearable | Device | CRW is a stress-relaxation device where participants listen to sounds that help to balance brain rhythms. Participants will be asked to come to an office for 5 days over 1-2 weeks, on your their schedule. Sessions will take approximately one (1) hour to complete. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Completed Interventions | Intervention feasibility will be the number of trial participants who complete the Cereset Research Office intervention (5 out of 5 prescribed sessions). | 10 days |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of Adverse Events During Cereset Research Office Intervention | Tolerability will be reported as the total number, grade, time from enrollment and time to resolution of CTCAE and adverse event detected by investigator monitoring and assessment of adverse events at visits 1, 2, 3, and 4 during Cereset Research Office Intervention using the CTCAE 5.0 (Grade 1-5, 1 = mild, 5 = death). Adverse events will be divided into four categories (common adverse events >15-20%, uncommon adverse events <15%, rare but potentially serious adverse events and unexpected toxicities). Any Grade 3 toxicity by CTCAE will be further evaluated as an unacceptable event. |

| Caregiver Interview | Caregiver interview is a 21-item questionnaire that contains things a person might do when caring for a loved one with cancer. Scores ranges from 1-9 ('1' would state that the participant is not-at-all confident to accomplish the listed behavior; '9' would state that the participant is totally confident to accomplish the listed behavior. Numbers in the middle of the scale indicate that the participant is moderately confident to accomplish the listed behavior). Mean core values for each survey will be calculated for all participants enrolled. Surveys will be provided to participants pre- and post-intervention. Paired student's t-test will be used to compare scores at these V1, V2, V3, V4 time points. | 4 months |
| Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7) | The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 is a validated, short seven item scale. Response scale = (not at all sure = 0; several days = 1; over half the days = 2; to nearly every day = 3). Scores of 5, 10, and 15 are taken as the cut-off points for mild, moderate and severe anxiety, respectively. Mean core values for each survey will be calculated for all participants enrolled. Surveys will be provided to participants pre- and post-intervention. Paired student's t-test will be used to compare scores at these V1, V2, V3, V4 time points | 4 months |
| Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) | The Insomnia Severity Index is a validated, 7 item self-report questionnaire assessing the nature, severity, and impact of insomnia in the past month. Rating scale (0 = very satisfied to 4 = very dissatisfied; 0 = not at all noticeable to 4 = very much noticeable; 0 = not at all worried to 4 = very much worried; 0 = not at all interfering to 4 = very much interfering). Mean core values for each survey will be calculated for all participants enrolled. Surveys will be provided to participants pre- and post-intervention. Paired student's t-test will be used to compare scores at these V1, V2, V3, V4 time points | 4 months |
| Perceived Stress Scale Questionnaire | The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) is a 10-item psychological instrument for measuring the perception of stress. It is a measure of the degree to which situations in one's life are appraised as stressful. Scale range is 0 = never, 4 = very often. Mean core values for each survey will be calculated for all participants enrolled. Surveys will be provided to participants pre- and post-intervention. Paired student's t-test will be used to compare scores at these V1, V2, V3, V4 time points | 4 months |
| Changes in Heart Rate - FAROS 180 device | Continuous readings of heart rate will be acquired using FAROS 180 heart rate monitor for a minimum of 10 minutes for physiologic changes in heart rate at pre-intervention (B1) and during, and post-intervention time points (B2, B3, B4). The mean values of HRV will be compared with paired student's t-test. | 4 months |
