Test dual-task walking to improve thinking in colorectal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at a walking exercise that makes you do two tasks at once (for example, walking while focusing on something) to see if it can improve thinking and memory. It is for people newly diagnosed with early to mid-stage colorectal cancer, and excludes people with other cancers or cancer coming back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be newly diagnosed with stage I, II, or III colorectal cancer
- Have only colorectal cancer (not another type of cancer)
- Have no history of colorectal cancer recurrence (not cancer returning)

This trial tests whether adding exercise and a multivitamin before chemotherapy can help reduce memory and thinking problems in people with colorectal cancer. It is for older adults (ages 60-85) who are about to start chemo.
This trial tests whether combining walking on a curved path with doing simple thinking tasks can improve recovery after a stroke. It is for people who can walk at least 10 meters and have some arm and leg movement.
This study tests whether a computer-based brain training program can help with memory and thinking problems (often called 'chemobrain') that some people experience during colon cancer treatment. It is for adults with newly diagnosed colon cancer who are starting or receiving active cancer therapy.
This study tests whether combining dual-task training (walking while doing a thinking task) with a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve how stroke survivors move and think. It may help you walk safely while also paying attention to other tasks.
This study tests whether doing two tasks at once (like walking while talking or counting) can help people with mild Alzheimer's disease improve their thinking and memory. You would take part in training sessions that combine physical movement with mental exercises.
This study tests a special exercise program that combines walking with other tasks to help people recover walking ability after a stroke. It is for people who are still in the early months of recovery and can already walk a bit.
