New study to uncover hidden nerve damage from chemotherapy
NCT ID NCT07367711
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how chemotherapy for breast cancer affects the sense of arm position (proprioception). Researchers will compare three groups: breast cancer patients who had chemotherapy, those who had surgery only, and healthy volunteers. Using robotic tasks and video tracking, they aim to better understand nerve damage that can impact daily life.
