Study shows neuromuscular training reduces chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy onset.
- Neuromuscular training reduces the onset of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN).
- Sensorimotor training (SMT) and whole-body vibration (WBV) training were found to reduce symptoms and decrease the onset of CIPN in patients undergoing treatment with oxaliplatin or vinca alkaloids.
- Results from the study showed a lower incidence of CIPN in the SMT and WBV groups compared to treatment as usual (TAU).
- SMT demonstrated benefits in improving subjective and objective outcomes such as balance control, vibration sensitivity, sense of touch, lower leg strength, pain reduction, and burning sensation.
- The study suggests that neuromuscular training can be effective in decreasing CIPN and improving various symptoms in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
