Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
OncoBRAIN aims to assess the effect of an innovative immersive virtual reality-based (IVR) intervention that includes cognitive, physical activity and mindfulness exercises in people diagnosed with cancer and Chemotherapy-Related Cognitive Deficits (CRCD). The main objective of OncoBRAIN is to determine the benefits of RVI intervention on the cognitive, and emotional state and quality of life of people with cancer and CRQD. We hypothesize that in OncoBRAIN we will find improvements in people with cancer and CRCD who have received IVR stimulation compared to the control group with cancer and CRCD who have not received IVR stimulation. People in the experimental group will perform better than patients in the control group in cognition (episodic memory, executive function, attention, and information processing speed), show better emotional well-being and perceive a better quality of life at the end of the intervention.

- Immersive Virtual Reality group
- description
- The intervention will be group-based, with 5 participants per group, and will consist of a total of 24 sessions of 60 minutes. These 24 sessions are organized over 12 weeks, 2 sessions per week. The sessions will consist of a group program of multimodal stimulation using immersive MK360 technology to train cognitive, emotional, and physical areas. Each session will have a different content, although they will follow the following outline: 1. Welcome and awareness of the here and now. 2. Mindfulness techniques 3. Cognitive stimulation 4. Physical activation 5. Feedback and end of session. The visual material used for each session will be specific and adapted to the group.

- description
- In paper or pdf format, patients in the active control group will receive guidelines for physical and cognitive stimulation to do autonomously at home. Patients in the active control group will receive guidelines for cognitive and physical stimulation and meditation exercises in paper or pdf format, to be done independently at home. They will be encouraged to do physical exercises, meditation, and cognitive activities two times a week.
