First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether adapted Argentine Tango dancing can reduce nerve damage symptoms caused by breast cancer chemotherapy. About 140 survivors who completed taxane-based chemo at least 3 months ago will take 16 dance sessions over 8 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in numbness, tingling, balance, and quality of life.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a drug-free way to reduce nerve pain and fall risk in breast cancer survivors.

What could go wrong

This is a mid-stage trial with only 140 people, so results may not apply to everyone. Dancing may not help all types of nerve damage.
