The TRUE-GRIT study will assess the feasibility of a study protocol investigating the efficacy of a combination therapy consisting of cognitive strategy training (CST) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to reduce cognitive impairment in adult glioma patients. This study is part of the GRIP-project, a project aimed at investigating interventions for improving quality of life in brain tumor patients.
