Brain training for chemo brain during breast cancer treatment
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have just been diagnosed with breast cancer and are starting or about to start cancer treatment.
- You can manage daily activities on your own.
- You do not have a brain or spinal cord tumor, and you are not already in another brain-training program.
- You have not been diagnosed with a memory or thinking disorder (like dementia).

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 whether a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help improve the 'chemo brain' – memory and thinking problems – that some women experience after breast cancer chemotherapy. If you've had memory issues since chemo and finished treatment within the past year, you may be able to join.
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 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 trial studies whether a structured exercise program can help protect or improve thinking and memory in people with breast cancer while they are starting chemotherapy after surgery. It may help with “chemo brain” by targeting brain function during treatment.
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.
