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.

- You are a woman aged 30 to 65
- You have been diagnosed with invasive ductal breast cancer (stage I, II, or III) within the last 3 to 6 months

- You have some nerve symptoms (like numbness or tingling) in your hands or feet caused by chemotherapy
- You do not have other major health problems like poorly controlled diabetes, multiple sclerosis, recent heart attack, or unstable bone metastases

This study compares doing rehabilitation exercises at home (via video calls) versus in a clinic to help relieve tingling, numbness, and pain in the hands and feet caused by chemotherapy. If you are a woman with breast cancer and have these nerve symptoms, this trial may help you find an effective way to manage them.
This study looks at whether chemotherapy affects your body's sense of position — how you know where your limbs are in space. By comparing women with breast cancer who had surgery only, those who also had chemotherapy, and healthy volunteers, researchers hope to learn more about possible side effects that could affect daily activities like balance or reaching for things.
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 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 whether specific exercises can improve balance and blood flow in the feet of older adults who have nerve damage from chemotherapy. It may help reduce falls and improve daily steadiness.
This study tests if playing immersive virtual reality games can improve balance and reduce the risk of falling in women who have nerve damage from chemotherapy. It may help you feel steadier and more confident on your feet.
