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.

This trial tests a home-based program combining gentle exercise with a small device that stimulates the vagus nerve (a nerve that helps calm the body) to relieve nerve pain, numbness, and tingling in the hands and feet caused by chemotherapy. If you've had these symptoms after platinum or taxane chemotherapy, this may help improve your daily comfort and function.
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.
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.
This study tests whole-body vibration exercises to see if they improve balance, reduce falls, and improve quality of life for people with nerve damage caused by chemotherapy. You stand on a vibrating platform while doing simple exercises, which may help your nerves and muscles work better.
This study tests whether a personalized exercise program at home can help prevent nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) caused by certain chemotherapy drugs. It is for people with breast, gynecological, or colon cancer starting a new chemotherapy treatment.
