Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation to Improve Gait for Breast Cancer Survivor's Who Received Taxene and/or Platinum Chemotherapy

Sponsor: University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This clinical trial tests the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to improve gait in older breast cancer survivors who received taxane and/or platinum chemotherapy. Chemotherapy, especially taxane or platinum therapy, can cause damage to the to the nerves resulting in numbness, tingling and pain, which can cause difficulty walking. It can also cause cognitive dysfunction which may effect gait. TDCS is a non-invasive brain stimulation device which uses a very mild electrical current applied to the scalp to temporarily stimulate a specific area of the brain involved in thinking and movement which may improve walking, particularly while doing two things at once. TDCS may be effective in improving gait for older breast cancer survivors who received taxane and/or platinum chemotherapy.

Official title: A Randomized, Sham Controlled, Double Blinded, Crossover Mechanistic Trial of the Impact of Transcranial Direct Current to the Left Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex on Gait in Older Breast Cancer Survivor's Post-Taxane Chemotherapy
