First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026

Summary

This study explores whether a 12-week program combining cognitive stimulation sessions and adapted physical activity, done at home with remote supervision, is feasible for women who have cognitive difficulties after breast cancer treatment. The study includes 20 women with localized breast cancer who report significant cognitive complaints affecting their quality of life. The goal is to see if patients can stick with the program and find it acceptable, before testing its effectiveness in larger trials.

Active substance

cognitive stimulation sessions and adapted physical activity sessions

What this could lead to

If feasible, this combined approach could point toward a practical, home-based program to ease cognitive difficulties after breast cancer treatment.
