Balance exercises for chemotherapy nerve damage in breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether special balance and coordination exercises can help reduce nerve damage side effects (like numbness or tingling) caused by chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. You may benefit if you have these symptoms and want to improve your balance and movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether exercise and mindfulness practices can reduce nerve pain and numbness caused by cancer chemotherapy. If you have this side effect, the program may help improve your symptoms and quality of life.
This study looks at how certain chemotherapy drugs affect the brain and cause nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) in people with breast cancer. The goal is to find ways to prevent or reduce these side effects so that treatment can be more comfortable and effective.
This study looks at how chemotherapy affects your sense of body position. It compares people who have had breast cancer surgery with or without chemotherapy to healthy volunteers.
This trial tests whether feedback-based balance training can improve walking and balance for cancer patients who have nerve damage from chemotherapy. It is for people with breast, rectal, or stomach cancer who still have trouble with balance and walking.
This trial tests a special exercise program (called balance training) to help breast cancer survivors who still have nerve damage and balance problems after finishing taxane chemotherapy. If you have tingling, numbness, or trouble staying steady, this study may help improve your balance and reduce fall risk.
This study tests two types of exercises—simple foot and leg movements (Buerger's exercises) and balance drills (proprioceptive exercises)—to see if they help improve balance and blood flow to the feet in older people who have nerve damage from chemotherapy.
