Does Cognitive Rehabilitation and Physical Activity Impact Executive Functioning Following Radiation Therapy for Cerebral Metastases? A Pilot Study
To determine the feasibility of processes and instruments with an overarching purpose to
guide the design of a larger study. To determine the feasibility of individuals with
metastatic brain tumor(s) to engage in physical activity(PA) and cognitive rehabilitation
(CR) as in an outpatient therapy setting.

Rolling recruitment for the study. Participants will be randomized into one of three
treatment arms. All treatment arms will undergo physical & cognitive testing prior to
whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT)/stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Arm 3 will receive
cognitive rehabilitation intervention sessions prior to, and concurrent with, WBRT/SRS.
Approximately 14 days following WBRT/SRS: all arms will undergo physical and cognitive
testing, and: Arm 1 will begin physical activity intervention. Arm 2 will begin physical
activity intervention and cognitive intervention. Arm 3 will continue with cognitive
intervention and begin physical activity intervention. All Arms will undergo physical and
cognitive testing approximately 2.5 months post WBRT/SRS.
