Brain training for chemo-related memory problems in breast cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether a group or individual computer-based brain training program can help with memory and thinking problems (chemobrain) caused by chemotherapy in people with breast cancer. You would be asked to complete training sessions while you are receiving cancer treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been recently diagnosed with breast cancer and are starting or about to start cancer treatment (like chemotherapy).
- You can manage your daily activities on your own.
- You are willing to take part in the study and sign a consent form.
- You do not have a brain tumor (other than breast cancer that spread) or a major memory disorder (like dementia).
- You are not currently in another cognitive training program.

This study tests whether a computer-based brain training program can help with memory and thinking problems (often called 'chemobrain') that some people experience during colon cancer treatment. It is for adults with newly diagnosed colon cancer who are starting or receiving active cancer therapy.
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 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.
This study tests whether combining cognitive training with physical exercise can help women with breast cancer who experience memory or thinking problems. It is for women who are currently receiving or have recently completed chemotherapy.
