Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of a wearing semiconductor embedded headband for cancer-related cognitive impairment in patients with breast or gynecological cancers. The study will also test the safety and effectiveness of using a semiconductor embedded headband by using a cross-over study design.

The study will consist of the following phases:

* Phase 1: Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive a headband with an active semiconductor or they will receive a sham headband with no semiconductor. They will wear the assigned headband for 18 hours a day for 3 weeks.
* Washout Period: After the first 3-week phase, there will be a 2-week "washout" period. During this time, participants will not wear either headband to allow time for the potential treatment effects to clear from their body.
* Phase 2: After the washout period, participants will switch to the other headband they were previously not receiving. They will wear this assigned headband for 18 hours a day for 3 weeks.

Semiconductor embedded therapeutic headband

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Semiconductor embedded headband

Intervention Type DEVICE

Week 1-3: Participants will be provided with either an active semi-conductor headbands OR a sham headband, absent of semi-conducting fabric. Participants will be instructed to wear them \>18 hours per day and report their daily device usage.

Week 4-5: Washout. Participants will not wear any headbands that were provided.

Week 6-8: Participants who wore sham headbands in intervention A will be provided with active semi-conductor embedded headbands and instructed to wear them \>18 hours per day, and vice versa.

Sham Headband

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Sham Headband

Intervention Type DEVICE

Week 1-3: Participants will be provided with either an active semi-conductor headbands OR a sham headband, absent of semi-conducting fabric. Participants will be instructed to wear them \>18 hours per day and report their daily device usage.

Week 4-5: Washout. Participants will not wear any headbands that were provided.

Week 6-8: Participants who wore sham headbands in intervention A will be provided with active semi-conductor embedded headbands and instructed to wear them \>18 hours per day, and vice versa.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Participant aged 18 years or older.
* Diagnosis of breast or gynecologic cancer.
* Participant has completed chemotherapy within 90 days of enrollment and no additional chemotherapy is planned for the duration of study treatment.
* Perceived cognitive impairment (PCI) score of \< 63 in the FACT-Cog-PCI assessment.
* Ability to wear device for at least 18 hours per day during the 6 weeks of intervention.
* ECOG Performance Status ≤ 3.
* Able to speak and understand English.
* Able to provide informed consent and willing to sign an approved consent form that conforms to federal and institutional guidelines.

Exclusion Criteria

* History of neurodegenerative conditions, including but not limited to multiple sclerosis, dementia, Alzheimer's, or Parkinson's disease.
* History of CNS diseases such as stroke, meningitis, or traumatic brain injury within 12 months of enrollment.
* Poorly controlled psychological disorders including alcohol dependence, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder.
* Use of tobacco or nicotine products within 90 days of enrollment.
* The diagnosis of another malignancy ≤ 12 months before study enrollment, except for those considered to be adequately treated with no evidence of disease or symptoms and/or will not require therapy during the study duration per treating investigator (i.e., basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer).
* Known brain metastases or cranial epidural disease.
* History of poorly controlled diabetes in the opinion of the investigator.
* Any other condition that would, in the Investigator's judgment, contraindicate the participant's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns or compliance with clinical study procedures.
* Active infection requiring systemic therapy.
* Participants taking prohibited medications as described in Section 6.5.1. Cautionary medications may be used as described in Section 6.5.2.
