Brain stimulation and training for thinking problems after breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Mental health, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether brain stimulation plus cognitive training can improve thinking and memory problems in women after chemotherapy for breast cancer. It may help if you still feel “foggy” or have trouble concentrating months after treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had chemotherapy for breast cancer, and it has been at least 6 months

- You have ongoing concerns about thinking, memory, or concentration
- You are right-handed
- You do not have dementia from before your cancer treatment
- You do not have certain conditions that affect brain safety or participation (like epilepsy/seizure history or tDCS contraindications)

This study tests whether combining exercise with a noninvasive brain-stimulation technique (tiny electrical pulses on the scalp) can help improve thinking and memory problems that some breast cancer survivors experience after treatment. Researchers want to see if this combination is practical and safe to use.
This study tests whether combining cognitive training with physical exercise can help women with breast cancer who experience memory or thinking problems. It is for women who are currently receiving or have recently completed chemotherapy.
This study looks at memory and thinking problems in women who have finished treatment for hormone-positive breast cancer. The goal is to find ways to help with these issues.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment, combined with rehabilitation, can improve thinking and other “neurocognition” problems after a recent stroke. It may help people whose thinking has been affected by stroke within the past month.
This trial tests if transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can help improve mood and treatment outcomes in breast cancer patients with mild to moderate depression who are receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can improve thinking and memory problems after an acute ischemic stroke. It also uses brain scans to better understand how the treatment may help.
