Cognitive training for people on chemotherapy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial studies a phone or tablet brain-training program to help with “cancer-related cognitive impairment,” or thinking and memory problems that can happen during chemotherapy. If you’re newly diagnosed with certain gynecologic cancers and are receiving chemotherapy, this may help you see whether the training improves cognitive symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 22 or older
- Have a newly diagnosed gynecologic cancer (uterine, cervical, ovarian, primary peritoneal, vulvar, or vaginal)
- Be currently receiving chemotherapy
- Own a smartphone or tablet and be able to download the cognitive training app
- Do not already have a diagnosis of dementia

This study looks at changes in thinking and brain function in people with early to locally advanced breast cancer before and during chemotherapy. You may also be offered a brain MRI in a separate optional part of the research to learn more about brain changes.
This study looks at how chemotherapy may affect memory and thinking, using thinking tests and possibly brain imaging. It compares older breast cancer patients who do and do not get chemotherapy, plus a group of healthy older adults.
This pilot study tests whether the drug riluzole can help prevent the thinking and memory problems (often called 'chemobrain') that some people experience during chemotherapy. If you are about to start a chemo regimen containing an anthracycline or platinum drug, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a group or individual computer-based brain training program can help with memory and thinking problems (chemobrain) caused by chemotherapy in people with breast cancer. You would be asked to complete training sessions while you are receiving cancer treatment.
This study tests a supervised computer-based mental exercise program to help reduce memory and thinking problems after chemotherapy. It is for people who finished chemo for early-stage breast cancer and still have bothersome mental fogginess.
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.
