Hand and feet exercises for nerve pain from chemo
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if simple hand and foot exercises can help reduce nerve pain caused by taxane chemotherapy in people with solid tumors. If you have mild nerve symptoms from chemo, this study may offer a drug-free way to feel better.
