Exercise and Brain Stimulation for Breast Cancer Survivors
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and were diagnosed with breast cancer (stages 0–3, not metastatic/stage 4)
- You finished your main cancer treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation) at least 3 months ago
- You notice or report problems with memory, focus, or thinking since your cancer treatment
- You are not currently exercising 60+ minutes per week
- You do not have metal implants in your head, a history of seizures, epilepsy, or head/spine surgery
- You do not have uncontrolled heart disease or other serious medical conditions that would make exercise unsafe

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 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 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 exercise can help thinking and reasoning in women over 50 who have had early-stage breast cancer. It compares a moderate exercise program with health education sessions.
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 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.
