Early Cognitive Interventions in Digital Format for Cancer Survivors

Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the usability and effectiveness of two professionally supervised home-based cognitive training interventions as part of an early rehabilitation protocol for cancer-related cognitive impairment. Participants will be randomized to one of the two intervention arms (computerized cognitive intervention or virtual reality cognitive intervention) or to the control group. Participants of the intervention groups will be assessed before and after the 10 weeks intervention or at equivalent time points for the control group. Comparisons between experimental and control participants, and between the participants in the two intervention arms, will be carried out to see which intervention is most effective and accepted.
