Vibrating platform may reduce fall risk for cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT07508527
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether standing on a vibrating platform (whole body vibration) for 15 minutes, three times a week for eight weeks, can improve balance, reduce fear of falling, and enhance quality of life in people with nerve damage from chemotherapy. Thirty adults aged 30-60 with mild to moderate neuropathy will be randomly assigned to either standard physical therapy alone or standard therapy plus whole body vibration. The goal is to see if the vibration therapy adds extra benefit for postural control and fall prevention.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Whole body vibration therapy (a device-based intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to improve balance and reduce fall risk for people with nerve damage from chemotherapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy is added to standard exercise, so any benefit may be modest.
