Cancer patients assert that after chemotherapy their cognitive abilities have deteriorated.
Cognitive stimulation is the clinical treatment of choice for reversing cognitive decline. The current
study describes a computerized home-based cognitive stimulation program in patients who survived
breast cancer. It aims to assess safety and effectiveness of cognitive stimulation in the oncology
population. A series of 45-min training sessions was completed by the participants. A thorough
assessment was performed both before and after the intervention. The mini-Mental Adjustment to
Cancer Scale, the Cognitive Assessment for Chemo Fog Research, and the Functionality Assessment
Instrument in Cancer Treatment–Cognitive Function served as the main assessment tools. The
State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory, Brief Fatigue Inventory, and Measuring
Quality of Life–The World Health Organization data were gathered as secondary outcomes. Homebased cognitive stimulation demonstrated beneficial effects in the oncology population, with no side
effects being reported. Cognitive, physical, and emotional improvements were observed, along with
decreased interference in daily life activities and a better overall quality of life.
