Use of Transcranial Photobiomodulation to Improve Cognition and Self-Reported Outcomes in Survivors of Childhood Cancer
Sponsor: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
Summary
Survivors of childhood cancer are at greater risk for long-term cognitive impairments that include attention, executive function, intelligence, memory, and processing speed. The participants are a survivor of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). Because of your treatment the participant may have developed trouble with thinking and learning. Primary Objective To evaluate the feasibility of using home-based tPBM paired with remote cognitive training to improve cognitive performance in survivors of ALL and HL. Secondary Objectives To estimate the potential efficacy of alpha and gamma frequency tPBM on cognitive performance in survivors of ALL and HL. Exploratory Objectives To estimate the effects of home-based tPBM paired with remote cognitive training on patient reported symptoms of executive dysfunction, sleep, depression, anxiety, fatigue, and pain in survivors of ALL and HL.

Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) - Mobile System
The Vielight NeURO device delivers 810 nm near infrared light via four (4) transcranial LED modules. The LED modules target brain regions associated with a variety of cognitive functions. It can deliver light at two frequencies: Alpha (10 Hz) and Gamma (40 Hz). Alpha oscillations are prominent in healthy brains during wakeful resting and gamma oscillations are associated with activities associated with focus, memory, and cognition.
