Exercise and multivitamin for chemo brain in colorectal cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program can help reduce 'chemo brain' (memory and thinking problems) for people with colorectal cancer during chemotherapy. Participants will do online exercise and take a daily multivitamin to see if it helps protect thinking skills.

This pilot study tests whether the drug riluzole can help prevent the thinking and memory problems (often called 'chemobrain') that some people experience during chemotherapy. If you are about to start a chemo regimen containing an anthracycline or platinum drug, you may be able to join.
This trial studies whether supervised exercise—either aerobic fitness training or muscle-strength training—can improve outcomes for people with metastatic colorectal cancer. It compares which approach is most helpful and checks whether it’s safe during first-line chemotherapy.
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 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 structured exercise program can help protect thinking and memory in adults receiving chemotherapy for cancer. If you are able to walk on your own and do light exercise, this trial might be a good fit.
