Effects of Sensorimotor Training With Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Breast Cancer Patients

Effects of Sensorimotor Training on Pain Intensity, Perceived Balance Confidence and Functional Exercise Capacity With Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Breast Cancer Patients


Sponsor

Riphah International University

Enrollment

24 participants

Start Date

Jan 15, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

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.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests a sensorimotor training program for breast cancer survivors who developed nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) as a side effect of chemotherapy. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hands and feet. The goal is to see if targeted exercises can improve these symptoms and overall physical function. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a woman diagnosed with invasive breast cancer (stages I–III) - You are between 30 and 65 years old - You have completed chemotherapy and are medically stable - You experience neuropathy symptoms from chemotherapy (mild to very severe) - It has been 3–6 months since your breast cancer diagnosis **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are still undergoing chemotherapy - You do not have neuropathy symptoms related to chemotherapy - You have other conditions that would prevent you from safely exercising Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALSensorimotor Training Exercise

Participants will perform sensorimotor training exercises designed to improve balance, reduce pain intensity, and enhance functional exercise capacity. The program will include progressive exercises focusing on proprioception, neuromuscular coordination, and functional mobility. Sessions will be conducted thrice weekly over 12 weeks, supervised by a physiotherapist.

BEHAVIORALConventional Exercise Therapy

Participants will undergo conventional exercise therapy, including stretching, strengthening, and aerobic exercises, based on standard physiotherapy protocols. The therapy aims to maintain joint mobility, reduce stiffness, and improve general physical fitness. Sessions will be conducted thrice weekly over 12 weeks, supervised by a physiotherapist.
