Computerized Cognitive Retraining in Improving Cognitive Function in Breast Cancer Survivors
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Cancer Survivor, Stage 0 Breast Cancer, Stage IA Breast Cancer, Stage IB Breast Cancer, Stage IIA Breast Cancer, Stage IIB Breast Cancer, Stage IIIA Breast Cancer, Stage IIIB Breast Cancer, Stage IIIC Breast Cancer
In brief
This randomized clinical trial studies computerized cognitive retraining in improving cognitive function in breast cancer survivors. Cancer-related cognitive deficits, such as thinking and memory issues, are common among breast cancer survivors. The severity of these cognitive deficits is associated with a significant negative impact on daily function and quality of life. A computerized cognitive retraining method may help researchers find ways to improve cognitive function and quality of life in breast cancer survivors.
