Brain cancer survivors team up with carers to tackle 'chemo brain'
NCT ID NCT05858359
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a program called ImPACT for brain cancer survivors who have trouble with thinking and memory. The program pairs each survivor with a carer to identify strengths and challenges, and create practical strategies for daily life. The trial enrolled 27 survivors and their carers to see if the program is feasible and helpful.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ImPACT program (behavioural intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a practical way for brain cancer survivors and their carers to manage thinking and memory problems at home.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 27 participants. Results may not apply to everyone, and the program may not improve cognitive function significantly.
