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 a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can improve walking problems caused by chemotherapy. It may help breast cancer survivors who have trouble with balance or walking after finishing treatment.
This study uses a gentle electrical stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can help reduce cancer-related fatigue and weakness. You will also have MRI scans to look at how the brain is working.
This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method over two weeks to see if it improves memory and thinking in healthy young and older adults. It aims to help understand if this technique could benefit cognitive function.
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.
