Cognitive rehabilitation for children after brain tumour
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a cognitive rehabilitation program designed to help children and teenagers who have had a brain tumour improve thinking skills and manage fatigue. It may help you feel sharper in school and less tired during daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 7 and 17 years old.
- You have been treated for a brain tumour (or had brain-directed cancer treatment) at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and are under their care or were seen in the last 4 years.
- It has been at least 6 months since your diagnosis or the end of acute treatment (surgery or radiation), and at least 3 months since you returned to school, with the disease being stable.
- You have some cognitive difficulties (for example, with memory, attention, or processing speed) visible on tests or questionnaires, and you also report feeling unusually tired or fatigued.
- You have not done another formal cognitive or fatigue therapy in the last 6 months, and you are not currently in psychiatric care for a mental health condition.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program (done through video calls) can help reduce fatigue in young adult brain tumor survivors. If you’re 18–39 and struggle with tiredness after treatment, this program may help you feel better.
This trial studies whether a structured light-exposure routine can improve symptoms like fatigue and how survivors feel day to day. It is aimed at children and teens who have recovered from a non–high-risk type of brain tumor and have mild to moderate fatigue.
This trial tests whether the medicine methylphenidate (often used for ADHD) can help reduce severe fatigue in children and teens who have finished treatment for a brain tumor. If you're a young brain tumor survivor struggling with ongoing tiredness, this study may offer a new option.
This study tests a remote program to help with memory and thinking problems caused by a grade 2 or 3 brain tumor. It is for people who have had surgery and are at least 6 months past any radiation or chemotherapy.
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.
