Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Many patients with primary brain tumors experience cognitive deficits and cognitive rehabilitation programs aim to alleviate these deficits.The cognitive rehabilitation program developed by the investigators proved effective in a large randomized controlled trial (RCT). To increase its accessibility, it was converted into the iPad-based cognitive rehabilitation program ReMind, which incorporates psychoeducation, strategy training and retraining. A pilot study and a randomized controlled trial are conducted, to evaluate the feasibility of the use of the program and the efficacy of the program in brain tumor patients after resective surgery.
