Brief Title: Effects of Computer-Assisted Cognitive Rehabilitation Programs With Breast Cancer Survivors
Official Title: Effects of Computer-Assisted Cognitive Rehabilitation Programs With Breast Cancer Survivors
Study ID: NCT04027400
Brief Summary: Potential study participants will be recruited at breast cancer survivor support groups. Informed consent will be obtained with a form approved by the TWU IRB and participants will complete 4 tests. Then participants will be randomly assigned to one of two computer-assisted cognitive programs. Participants will be sent by email, exercises specific to their assigned computer-assisted cognitive program from Happyneuron Pro (http://ie.scientificbraintrainingpro.eu/). Cognitive training on the computer entails 30 minutes a day, five times a week for one month. At the end of the study, the four pretests will be repeated, a satisfaction survey administered.
Detailed Description: Potential study participants will be recruited using a recruitment script and recruitment brochure at breast cancer survivor support groups. Participants recruited to the study will be contacted to set up a pre-test data collection session. Prior to any testing, informed consent will be obtained with a form approved by the TWU IRB. After informed consent is obtained participants will complete tests of Digit Span Task, FACT-Cognitive Function (Version 3), Quality of Life Patient/Cancer Survivor Version and Engagement in Meaningful Activities Survey, and issued a tablet if they prefer. Then participants will be randomly assigned to one of two computer-assisted cognitive programs. Participants will be sent by email, exercises specific to their assigned computer-assisted cognitive program from Happyneuron Pro (http://ie.scientificbraintrainingpro.eu/). Cognitive training on the computer entails 30 minutes a day, five times a week for one month. 6. At the end of the study, the four pretests will be repeated, a satisfaction survey administered, and any issued tablets collected. Pre and post testing, obtaining of written consent, and issuing and returning a tablet will occur at the support group location. If this location is not available, they will occur at TWU in a quiet room. If TWU is not convenient to the participant, a quiet location that is suitable to maintain confidentiality for the participant will be chosen in collaboration with the participant.
