Balance training for nerve damage from chemotherapy
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
