Summary

This study tests whether a 15-minute hand and foot exercise routine can reduce nerve pain caused by Taxane chemotherapy in cancer patients. Fifty-eight adults with mild nerve symptoms will either do the exercises plus standard care or receive standard care alone. Researchers will measure changes in tingling, numbness, and weakness over 8 weeks.

Active substance: structured hand and foot exercise program
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to reduce nerve pain from Taxane chemotherapy, improving daily life for cancer patients.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with only 58 participants. The exercises may not reduce nerve symptoms more than standard care, and results may not apply to all patients.
