Cognitive impairment in survivors of prostate cancer: combining cognitive and physical activity for a brain fog fix

This clinical trial is funded by the World Cancer Research Fund and Cancer Australia and is aimed at understanding the effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability of a combined physical and cognitive intervention to improve brain health and cognitive function of men affected by prostate cancer receiving androgen deprivation therapy.

Participants will be randomly allocated to one of the interventions arms involving either physical training, cognitive training, combined training, or waitlist control.

Assessments before and after the intervention involve cardiovascular fitness, various cognitive function tests and a blood test. As compensation for your time and parking expenses, you will receive a $360 VISA gift card after the study.

The outcomes of this study will provide much-needed information on the experiences of men affected by prostate cancer, to provide targeted supportive care interventions to optimise brain health and well-being.
