NCT ID NCT06313359
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how nerve damage from cancer treatment affects a person's risk of falling and their quality of life. Researchers will test balance, thinking, and the ability to do two things at once (like walking while texting) in 40 adults with chemotherapy-related peripheral neuropathy. The goal is to understand which factors most strongly predict falls, so better prevention programs can be developed.
