Study Summary

This trial will study if using a computerized cognitive training program (Brain HQ) is better than an attention control in improving how people perceive their cognitive abilities after the intervention.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for breast cancer survivors who've finished their initial treatment between 6 months and 5 years ago, but may still be on endocrine or HER2-directed therapy. They should have a first-time diagnosis of non-metastatic breast cancer (Stage I-III) and feel like they're experiencing cognitive issues post-treatment.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two types of computerized cognitive training games to see if they help with the perceived mental fog that some breast cancer survivors experience after treatment. Participants will use Brain HQ's neuroplasticity or global stimulation games.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves computer-based cognitive exercises, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating in these activities.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm 2: Computerized Cognitive Training-Neuroplasticity GamesExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The neuroplasticity games provide core elements necessary for inducing neuroplasticity. The five core elements include the principles of speed of processing, accuracy of processing, adaptivity, generalizability, and engagement. Importantly, all of the exercises adapt to user skill and ability. Behavioral tracking built within the program is used to monitor individual performance and ensure that the person is training at their uppermost threshold level. Specifically, we will use eight of these exercises which are designed to address cognitive concerns most noted in BCS including exercises to improve attention and working memory, processing speed, and executive function.
Group II: Arm 1: Computerized Cognitive Training-Global Stimulation GamesActive Control1 Intervention
The global stimulation games active attention control intervention is composed of computerized games. These games are fully developed and are rated E (for everyone) by the Entertainment Software Rating Board. The program will present 8 non-speeded exercises that include spin-offs of such games as breaking hex, lineup four, battleship, gems swap, double klondike, solitaire, reversi, word search, and sudoku.
