Zapping away chemo brain: new hope for cancer survivors?
NCT ID NCT04966520
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method called iTBS can help cancer survivors who have memory and concentration problems after chemotherapy (often called 'chemo brain'). Fifteen adults who had completed cancer treatment received the stimulation, and researchers measured changes in their thinking skills and brain chemistry. The goal was to see if this approach is feasible and might ease cognitive symptoms.
