What this Trial Is About
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.

- 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.

- 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.
