Cognitive training for people on chemotherapy
Part of 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 study compares two ways of doing brain-training exercises (in a group or on your own) to see if they help reduce 'chemo brain' — the memory and focus problems some people get during breast cancer treatment. You would be randomly assigned to one of the two training approaches.
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 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 a digital program to help with memory and thinking problems that some people experience after cancer treatment. It is designed for survivors who finished chemotherapy recently and have access to a computer or tablet at home.
