Brain stimulation for thinking problems after breast cancer
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help with thinking and memory problems after breast cancer treatment. It compares women with and without obesity to see if the treatment works differently.

This study tests whether brain stimulation plus cognitive training can improve thinking and memory problems in women after chemotherapy for breast cancer. It may help if you still feel “foggy” or have trouble concentrating months after treatment.
This study tests whether combining exercise with a noninvasive brain-stimulation technique (tiny electrical pulses on the scalp) can help improve thinking and memory problems that some breast cancer survivors experience after treatment. Researchers want to see if this combination is practical and safe to use.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help reduce fatigue and weakness that lingers after cancer treatment. You would visit the lab to try the stimulation and do some simple tasks.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method over two weeks to see if it can improve memory and thinking skills. It is for healthy adults who are native English speakers and right-handed.
This trial tests if transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can help improve mood and treatment outcomes in breast cancer patients with mild to moderate depression who are receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery.
This trial tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation can improve thinking and memory in veterans who have both a past mild traumatic brain injury and PTSD. You can do the sessions from home with internet access.
