Big toe strength and chemo nerve damage
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the strength of your big toe is related to nerve damage from chemotherapy. It involves a one-time test of your toe strength and some questionnaires. It may help researchers better understand how chemo affects your nerves.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You started chemotherapy 3 to 6 months ago
- You have been diagnosed with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage in hands or feet)
- You do not have other conditions like diabetes, arthritis, or heart disease that can also cause nerve problems
- You do not have toe problems (like bunions or hammertoes) that are not from chemo
- You can read and answer questions in English and have normal or corrected vision

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 study tests whether tai chi can help cancer survivors with nerve damage from chemotherapy. You will be randomly assigned to take tai chi classes or join a waitlist group, and the study tracks changes in balance, nerve pain, and quality of life.
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.
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 trial tests whether soaking your feet in cold salt water before chemotherapy can help prevent nerve damage (called peripheral neuropathy) that is a common side effect of the breast cancer drug paclitaxel.
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.
