Exercise to prevent chemotherapy nerve damage
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
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.

This study looks at how chemotherapy-related nerve damage affects daily activities like walking and standing. It includes people who currently have or have had nerve-damaging chemotherapy and are experiencing nerve pain or weakness.
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 is testing a wearable device (gloves and boots) that applies gentle compression to your hands and feet during chemotherapy. It aims to prevent or reduce nerve damage (numbness, tingling, pain) that some chemotherapy drugs can cause.
