Exercise and Cognitive Rehabilitation for Cancer Survivors
(E-Co Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The objective of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of a combined mobile health exercise and cognitive rehabilitation intervention and its effect on cognition in a single-arm pilot study that recruits cancer survivors.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. However, patients on endocrine therapies are allowed to enroll, suggesting that some medications may be continued.
Is the Exercise and Cognitive Rehabilitation intervention safe for cancer survivors?
The safety of exercise interventions for cancer survivors is not well-studied, but a protocol called the Exercise Harms Reporting Method (ExHaRM) has been developed to monitor and report any potential harms. This method helps track and assess any undesirable outcomes, although specific safety data for the Exercise and Cognitive Rehabilitation intervention is not detailed in the available research.12345
