Dance away chemo pain: new study tests fun exercise for nerve damage
NCT ID NCT07632482
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a 6-week dance-based exercise program can reduce nerve pain and improve quality of life in cancer patients who have nerve damage from chemotherapy. About 76 adults with solid tumors will either join the dance program or receive usual care. The goal is to see if dancing helps manage symptoms better than standard advice alone.
