New study tests Home-Based exercise and brain games for cancer Survivors' memory woes
NCT ID NCT05388214
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This pilot study is testing a combined program of mobile health exercise and cognitive rehabilitation for older cancer survivors (age 60+) who have concerns about memory or thinking after treatment. The program uses a smartphone app for exercise tracking and group workshops for brain training. The main goal is to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, with secondary goals of measuring changes in self-reported cognition. Only 40 participants will be enrolled, and all will receive the same intervention.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- combined mobile health exercise and cognitive rehabilitation intervention
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a practical, home-based program to help older cancer survivors manage memory and thinking problems after treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early pilot study with only 40 participants and no comparison group. It is designed to test feasibility, not effectiveness, so results may not lead to a proven treatment.
