Trial Identification

Brief Title: An Intervention Programme to Reduce Cognitive Impairment Due to Cancer

Official Title: The Development and Feasibility Testing of an Intervention Programme to Reduce Cognitive Impairment Due to Cancer Treatment

Study ID: NCT02581709

Study Description

Brief Summary: The goal of this research study is to test the feasibility of an intervention programme to reduce cognitive impairment due to cancer treatment. The investigators want to find out how acceptable the intervention and procedures are for cancer patients.

Detailed Description: The intervention programme will consist of the following components: education about cancer-related cognitive impairment, relaxation techniques, compensatory techniques, goal-setting and lifestyle advice. Each session will last between 90 and 120 minutes, once a week for six weeks. The intervention will be delivered in a group setting, in a non-clinical environment by the investigators. The investigators aim to recruit 54 cancer patients from the local Cancer Centre onto the study. The cognitive functioning of cancer patients due to start chemotherapy will be assessed. Each patient's cognitive function will be reassessed after completion of chemotherapy and additional self-report measures will be administered. Patients who demonstrate cognitive decline over the course of chemotherapy will be invited to take part in the intervention programme. All other patients will be given an information sheet and advised to contact a member of their health-care team if they notice any changes in their cognitive function. The investigators aim to take 30 patients through the intervention. At the end of the intervention, each participant will complete an intervention evaluation questionnaire in addition to the cognitive functioning assessments and self-report measures.
