Summary
This study tested a home-based cognitive training program called BrainHQ in 60 women with gynecologic cancers who had memory or thinking problems after chemotherapy. Participants used the app for about 2.5 hours per week for 10 weeks. The goal was to see if the program was practical and acceptable, not yet to prove it works.
