Prostate Cancer, Sleep, and Cognition
The Impact of Androgen Deprivation Therapy On Sleep And Cognition In Men With Prostate Cancer
** CLOSED TO RECRUITMENT**
This study is examining the effect of androgen deprivation therapy on sleep and cognitive functioning in men with prostate cancer.
This research is important because it will help us to understand how sleep before and during prostate cancer treatment might influence the development of other side effects such as difficulty remembering things and paying attention. This information may be used to help develop targeted prevention and/or intervention programs to help other men in the future.
