Brain training for transplant survivors: can lumosity fix 'Chemo Brain'?
NCT ID NCT03094026
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a computer brain-training program (Lumosity) can improve memory and thinking in adults who had a stem cell transplant for blood cancer. About 60 survivors, 3 to 6 months after transplant, will either start training right away or wait 12 weeks. The goal is to see if the program is easy to stick with and if it helps sharpen mental skills.
