First seen Feb 20, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method called iTBS could help cancer survivors who struggle with memory, focus, and word-finding after chemotherapy. Fifteen adults who had completed cancer treatment received the stimulation, and researchers measured changes in thinking skills and brain chemistry. The goal was to see if this approach is feasible and might ease 'chemo brain' symptoms.
