How is chemo brain managed or treated?

Doctors do not have a standard treatment for chemo brain. Cognitive rehabilitation programs can be helpful. Some medications have been tested for treating chemo brain but results are varied. These agents include gingko biloba, modafinil, methaphenidate, antidepressants, and donepezil combined with vitamin E.

Many cases of chemo brain are temporary. They go away on their own. However, other cases last for longer periods of time.
