Zapping away chemo brain: new study tests brain stimulation for cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT04966520
First seen Feb 20, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This small pilot study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method called iTBS could help cancer survivors who struggle with memory, focus, and word-finding after chemotherapy (often called 'chemo brain'). Fifteen adults who had completed cancer treatment received the stimulation, and researchers measured changes in their thinking skills and brain chemistry. The goal was to see if this approach is feasible and might ease cognitive symptoms.
