Brain training for thinking problems during colon cancer treatment
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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 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 whether a computer-based brain training program delivered in a group setting can help women who experienced memory or thinking problems after breast cancer treatment. The program is designed to retrain and improve how your brain processes information.
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 looks at memory, focus, and other thinking skills in women who finished breast cancer treatment. It aims to find ways to help with any mental difficulties after treatment.
This study looks at whether combining cognitive training (brain exercises) with physical exercise can help improve memory and thinking problems that some women experience after breast cancer treatment. The goal is to see if this program can boost your thinking skills and quality of life.
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.
