Patient Experience and Acceptance of Horizontal Rotation

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Patients will complete validated psychometric questionnaires to quantify their experience of being rotated at different speeds using the Nano-X patient rotation system.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Study participants will be asked to attend the clinic on two separate occasions. Each session will last less than one hour. Patients will be asked to complete validated psychometric surveys assessing 1) their level of claustrophobia, 2) their level of anxiety and 3) their (baseline) motion sickness, before and after each session. They will then be rotated 3-4 times on the Nano-X patient rotation system, at varying speeds ranging from 6°/sec to 45°/sec. Each rotation will be designed to simulate a typical radiotherapy treatment; that is 9 angles, pausing for around 30 seconds at each angle. Straight after each rotation, patients will again complete the questionnaire assessing their anxiety levels and motion sickness.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Change in level of patient anxiety following rotation in the Nano-X Patient Rotation System | Comparison of mean scores of Short Form State/Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) Questionnaire outcomes before and after being rotated in the Nano-X Patient Rotation System | 1 hour | 
| Change in level of patient motion sickness following rotation in the Nano-X Patient Rotation System | Comparison of mean scores of Fast Motion Sickness Test (FMS) Questionnaire outcomes before and after being rotated in the Nano-X Patient Rotation | 1 hour | 
| Correlation between claustrophobia and the change in anxiety and motion sickness of patients following rotation in the Nano-X Patient Rotation System | Correlation between Claustrophobia Questionnaire (CLQ) scores prior to study participation on the anxiety and motion sickness results measured in Outcome 1 and Outcome 2 | 1 year |
