First seen Feb 05, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study tests a new approach to help childhood cancer survivors who struggle with memory, attention, and thinking speed. Participants use a special light device at home (called transcranial photobiomodulation) while doing computer-based brain training. The goal is to see if this combination is practical and can improve cognitive function. The study includes 44 adult survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia or Hodgkin lymphoma who finished treatment at least 2 years ago.
