Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Cancer-related Cognitive Impairment in Breast Cancer Survivors
Sponsor: Anhui Medical University
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in improving cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) in breast cancer survivors. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive active or sham stimulation over the prefrontal cortex. Cognitive outcomes will be assessed using standardized neuropsychological tests and self-reported measures. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) will be used to explore neural correlates of intervention effects.

Interventions
Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation
tDCS is described as a non-invasive form of brain stimulation that uses a low-intensity, direct current applied directly to the head through scalp electrodes.
Sham transcranial direct current stimulation
Sham tDCS was delivered using the same protocol and current intensity, but the period of active stimulation was only during the ramp-up and ramp-down periods of 30 and 30 seconds.
