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 study tests whether a home-based exercise program can help reduce 'chemo brain' (memory and thinking problems) for people with colorectal cancer during chemotherapy. Participants will do online exercise and take a daily multivitamin to see if it helps protect thinking skills.
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 combining physical exercises with mental tasks can improve thinking and memory in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. You would do simple activities that use both your brain and body at the same time.
This study tests whether a brain-training program can help reduce memory and thinking problems (sometimes called 'chemobrain') that may happen during chemotherapy for colon cancer. If you join, you will practice thinking exercises to see if they keep your mind sharp during treatment.
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 a special type of walking therapy that combines physical exercises with thinking tasks (like talking or remembering) to help people who recently had a stroke walk better. It may improve your balance, speed, and confidence in daily walking.
