Training attention skills for children after cancer
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests a computer-based “attention-control training” program to see if it’s doable and helpful for children who finished treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia or a brain tumor. It also looks at how acceptable the program is for both kids and caregivers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 8 to 16 years old when you start screening
- You previously had acute lymphoblastic leukemia or a brain tumor, and it has been at least 1 year since your planned treatment ended
- You and your caregiver can speak English comfortably
- A caregiver is available and able to supervise and support the child during the training
- You are either not taking stimulant medicine for attention problems, or have been on the same dose for at least 30 days
- You can use a computer, and you do not have photosensitive seizures

This trial tests whether a computer-based “attention control” training program can improve attention and daily functioning in children with sickle cell disease. To join, you must meet certain criteria and also pass an initial attention screening test during the study.
This trial studies whether training your brain signals (neurofeedback) and sending gentle pulses to the brain (transcranial pulse stimulation) can improve attention. You might be a candidate if you’re an adult with below-threshold sustained attention scores and meet safety and health requirements.
This pilot study tests a program that works with parents to support a child’s thinking, memory, and behavior after childhood cancer treatment. It may help by teaching parents strategies to support school and day-to-day functioning.
This study looks at whether a computer-based cognitive training program can help improve thinking and memory in children and young adults who have had a brain tumor. It may help to understand how the brain changes with this training and potentially improve daily life.
This study tests if a special computer training program, which uses brain activity (neurofeedback) and thinking exercises, can help children who survived a brain tumor improve their attention and memory. If your child struggles with focus or planning after treatment, this may offer extra support.
This study tests if a computer-based training program focusing on thinking skills and mindfulness can help children and teens who have had leukemia treatment. It may help improve memory, attention, and emotional well-being.
