About this trial

Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) is a prevalent and clinically relevant side effect of chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. It occurs in 30-70% of cases. It can cause various sensory and motor symptoms. Specific exercise interventions have proven promising to target relevant symptoms. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the effects of Sensorimotor training on pain intensity, perceived balance confidence, and functional exercise capacity with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in breast cancer patients.
