Rehabilitation and Longitudinal Follow-up of Cognition in Adult Lower Grade Gliomas

Conditions
Summary
Patients with glial brain tumors have increasingly improved outcomes, with median survival of 5-15 years. However, the treatments, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, often lead to impaired attention, working memory, and other cognitive functions. These cognitive deficits frequently have significant impact on patient quality of life. Although currently, there is no established standard of care to treat cognitive deficits in brain tumor patients, standard cognitive rehabilitative treatments have been developed for those with traumatic brain injury and stroke. However, the feasibility and efficacy of these cognitive treatments in individuals with brain tumors remains unclear.

Interventions
Evidence-based program to improve attention and memory through (1) cognitive training and (2) teaching compensatory skills in patients with brain tumors.
Participants receive a daily message sent at a random time (within their chosen timeframe(s); e.g. 9am-9pm). Messages will focus on patient-based education-focused health-related quality of life and cognitive education such as internal and external cognitive compensatory strategy training, fatigue management, and coping skills.
The in-person cognitive rehabilitation will focus on the application of evidenced based strategies recommended as practice guidelines by the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine Cognitive Rehabilitation Task Force (ACRM-CR). The treatment occurs in two stages 1) comprehensive neuropsychological assessment and rehabilitation planning and 2) implementation of treatment planning.
The telehealth cognitive rehabilitation will take place over secure UCSF Zoom. It will focus on the application of evidenced based strategies recommended as practice guidelines by the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine Cognitive Rehabilitation Task Force (ACRM-CR). The treatment occurs in two stages 1) comprehensive neuropsychological assessment and rehabilitation planning and 2) implementation of treatment planning
