Exploring the Feasibility of an Exercise and Noninvasive Brain Stimulation Intervention in Breast Cancer Survivors
Sponsor: Florida Atlantic University
Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of a 4-week intervention combining exercise and transcranial alternating current stimulation (Ex+tACS) in breast cancer survivors who report experiencing cancer-related cognitive impairment. Feasibility will be assessed by measuring participant retention, adherence, satisfaction with the intervention, and safety. The researchers will also examine pre-to-post intervention changes in attention, executive function, working memory, perceived cognitive function, and physical function before, after, and four weeks post intervention completion in the Ex+tACS group compared to a control group who will receive exercise and a placebo tACS condition (CON).

Conditions
Interventions
Exercise + transcranial alternating current stimulation (Ex+tACS)
The Ex+tACS group will complete a four-week intervention consisting of 3 days/week of 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on a treadmill at a sustained moderate intensity, immediately followed by 15 min of tACS while completing the AX Continuous Performance Test (AX-CPT).
Control
The Control (CON) group will complete 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on the treadmill followed by the Sustained Attention-Continuous Performance Task (AX-CPT) with a sham tACS condition. After each session, both the EX+tACS and control participants will complete a questionnaire regarding experience with tACS.
