Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Cancer-related Cognitive Impairment in Breast Cancer Survivors

Sponsor: Anhui Medical University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

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

DEVICE

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.

DEVICE

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.
