About this study

Our study aims to measure the impact of cognitive rehabilitation workshops on the development of cognitive functions and quality of life of patients expressing a cognitive complaint

Read the detailed description

The main objective of our study was to evaluate, in patients treated for cancer expressing the cognitive complaint during or after treatment, interest workshops on improving cognitive rehabilitation felt their cognitive functions and their quality of life.

The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients showing an improvement in the score of perceived deficiencies (score ranging from 0 to 72) of the FACT-Cog after treatment. The FACT-Cog is a self-administered questionnaire assessing the patients felt their cognitive difficulties (memory, attention, concentration) and the impact of these difficulties on their quality of life. The improvement is defined as an increase of 7 points >= cognitive score won by the (a) patient (e) after the treatment

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Cognitive examsOther

    Psychopathological assessment (T0 and T3):

    • Scale of Spielberger
    • The self-administered questionnaire CES-D

    Cognitive assessment(T0 and T3):

    • MMS, Grober and Buschke test, memory for numbers (WAIS IV) sequence of numbers and letters (WAIS IV), arithmetic (WAIS IV), Trail Making Test, verbal Fluence, D2, Code (WAIS IV)

    Quality of Life: FACT-G and FACT-An Fatigue Module (T0 and T3):

    Self-assessment FACT-COG (T0,every months until T3)

  • standardized cognitive rehabilitationOther

    Patients will achieve 9 standardized cognitive rehabilitation sessions with the RehaCom ® software (over 3 months), and a self-assessment of their monthly experienced cognitive functioning using the self-administered questionnaire FACT-Cog

  • Standardized home exerciseOther

    These patients will take part in 9 sessions standardized home exercise (over 3 months), and a self-assessment every month felt their cognitive functioning using the self-administered questionnaire FACT Cog

  • Follow up by phoneOther

    These patients receive follow-up by phone (9 telephone calls over a period of 3 months) standardized optics to know the evolution of the disorder and felt the same way as for the other groups, a monthly self-assessment the feeling of cognitive functioning using the self-administered questionnaire FACT-Cog

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Proportion of patients showing an improvement in the score of perceived deficiencies (score ranging from 0 to 72) of the FACT-Cog after care

    Evaluate, in patients treated for cancer expressing a cognitive complaint during or after the treatment, the interest workshops on improving cognitive rehabilitation felt their cognitive function and quality of life.

    Autoquestionnary FACT COG

    Measured: up to 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evaluate the relationship between cognitive impairment and the parameters of the quality of life

    Cognitive assessment:

    MMS, Test de Grober et Buschke, mémoire des chiffres (WAIS IV), séquence lettres-chiffres (WAIS IV), arithmétique (WAIS IV), Trail Making Test, Fluence verbale, D2, Code (WAIS IV)

    Measured: Baseline and month 3

  2. Assess the relationships between goals disorders (measured by neuropsychological tests) and the patients felt

    Cognitive assessment:

    MMS, Test de Grober et Buschke, mémoire des chiffres (WAIS IV), séquence lettres-chiffres (WAIS IV), arithmétique (WAIS IV), Trail Making Test, Fluence verbale, D2, Code (WAIS IV)

    Measured: Baseline and month 3

  3. Study of different types of interest support the evolution of objective and subjective cognitive performance of patients

    Cognitive assesment:

    MMS, Test de Grober et Buschke, mémoire des chiffres (WAIS IV), séquence lettres-chiffres (WAIS IV), arithmétique (WAIS IV), Trail Making Test, Fluence verbale, D2, Code (WAIS IV)

    Measured: Baseline and month 3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cognitive exams, standardized cognitive rehabilitation and Standardized home exercise in people with Cancer, run by Centre Francois Baclesse at 4 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of patients showing an improvement in the score of perceived deficiencies (score ranging from 0 to 72) of the FACT-Cog after care (time frame: up to 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Jul 2017.
