On s\u00f3n les claus?, qu\u00e8 vaig sopar ahir?, o de qu\u00e8 anava la pel\u00b7l\u00edcula que vam veure ahir?, s\u00f3n q\u00fcestions de la vida quotidiana que la gent afectada per ‘Chemo Brain’ pot tenir certa dificultat a respondre. Si indaguem en els efectes secundaris d’un tractament de quimioter\u00e0pia, el primer que ens pot venir al cap \u00e9s la caiguda de cabells, per\u00f2 hi ha un altre tipus de seq\u00fceles menys freq\u00fcents sent una d’elles la \u2018Quimio Cervell\u2019, com es coneix en espanyol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Chemobrain es tracta d’un d\u00e8ficit cognitiu o disminuci\u00f3 del funcionament neuropsicol\u00f2gic derivat dels tractaments quimioter\u00e0pics<\/strong>. Concretament, segons l’Organitzaci\u00f3 Cancer Research UK, els efectes que produeix la Chemobrain s\u00f3n la p\u00e8rdua de mem\u00f2ria reversible, dificultat per trobar la paraula concreta per definir una situaci\u00f3 o objecte, problemes per seguir de manera fluida una conversa, dificultat per aconseguir concentrar-se, dificultat per poder dur a terme diferents tasques al mateix temps, fatiga, confusi\u00f3 i el que es coneix com a ‘boirina mental’ o cert atordiment. Aquest efecte secundari pot incidir entre el 17% i el 50%<\/strong> d’homes i dones. Per a la majoria d’aquests pacients els s\u00edmptomes desapareixen o milloren molt\u00edssim despr\u00e9s de finalitzar el tractament, per\u00f2 en algunes ocasions, poden romandre a llarg termini i estendre\u2019s durant anys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una pacient va ser diagnosticada de leuc\u00e8mia als 22 anys i sotmesa a un trasplantament de medul\u00b7la \u00f2ssia d’un donant no emparentat. ‘Recordo que, d\u2019en\u00e7\u00e0 que em van subministrar la quimioter\u00e0pia, vaig perdre la capacitat de concentraci\u00f3 i una mica de mem\u00f2ria. Al principi va ser molt acusat fins al punt de no poder llegir ni dues p\u00e0gines seguides d’una novel\u00b7la. A mesura que vaig anar recuperant i a posar de nou en pr\u00e0ctica l’h\u00e0bit de la lectura, vaig tornar a poder concentrar-me ‘.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tractament de la Chemo Brain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


Existeix controv\u00e8rsia en relaci\u00f3 amb els tractaments que s’han d’usar per pal\u00b7liar aquest s\u00edmptoma. No obstant aix\u00f2, alguns d’ells han mostrat la seva efic\u00e0cia com poden ser:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Ter\u00e0pia cognitiva-conductual: <\/strong>s’inclou un tipus d’intervenci\u00f3 basada en el programa MAAT (Memory and Attention Adaptation Program). Aquest t\u00e9 com a objectiu millorar diferents dominis entrenant la seva capacitat d\u2019automaneig i l’afrontament de les errades cognitives en el dia a dia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Rehabilitaci\u00f3 cognitiva:<\/strong> formaria part d’un programa de rehabilitaci\u00f3 del c\u00e0ncer que inclou activitats per a millorar la funci\u00f3 cerebral. Consisteix a fer algunes activitats una i una altre, augmentant la dificultat amb el temps i l’\u00fas de recursos per ajudar a mantenir-se organitzat, com planificadors o diaris.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Exercici<\/strong>: pot millorar el raonament i la capacitat de concentraci\u00f3. Activitats com la jardineria, la cura de mascotes o caminar, poden ajudar a millorar els nivells d’atenci\u00f3 i de concentraci\u00f3.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Meditaci\u00f3:<\/strong> pot ajudar a millorar la funci\u00f3 cerebral augmentant l’enfocament i la consci\u00e8ncia.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Com fer front a la Chemo Brain dia a dia?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Sent un s\u00edmptoma que produeix malestar i empitjora la qualitat de vida del pacient, \u00e9s aconsellable seguir algunes recomanacions per tal de minimitzar al m\u00e0xim<\/strong> les conseq\u00fc\u00e8ncies d’aquest efecte secundari. Alguns exemples s\u00f3n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Utilitzar una agenda per a planificar les tasques.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Exercitar el cervell. Mots encreuats, classes d’idiomes… aficions que li permetin mantenir-se actiu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Descansar i dormir.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Dur a terme alguna activitat f\u00edsica.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Establir i seguir certes rutines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Tractar de no fer diferents tasques al mateix temps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Demanar ajuda quan es necessiti.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Enregistrar els problemes de mem\u00f2ria i exercitar mitjan\u00e7ant recursos mnem\u00f2nics (f\u00f3rmules o rimes que t’ajudin a recordar).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Enganxar recordatoris a llocs visibles. Fer \u00fas d’una pissarra o post-it on apuntar rutines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Controlar l’estr\u00e8s, disminuir l’autoexig\u00e8ncia i tenir en compte el nivell de fatiga i cansament.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Dur a terme tasques agradables despr\u00e9s de rutines que causin dificultat per fomentar la motivaci\u00f3.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
