NCT ID NCT07362147
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether hand and foot exercises can reduce nerve pain (numbness, tingling) and improve quality of life in adults aged 65+ with gynecological cancer who are on chemotherapy. About 74 participants will do these exercises to see if they help with chemotherapy side effects. The goal is to find a simple, drug-free way to feel better during treatment.
