NCT ID NCT05414357
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how sleep disturbances impact thinking skills and quality of life in 75 women treated for breast cancer. Participants will undergo brain scans, sleep tracking, and cognitive tests over six months. The goal is to understand the links between sleep, brain function, and daily well-being, without testing any new treatment.
