Summary
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common adverse effect of chemotherapy that can negatively impact patients' functional status and quality of life. This study was conducted in two phases among oncology patients receiving chemotherapy at a tertiary care teaching hospital in Chennai, India. Phase I used a descriptive survey design to determine the prevalence of CIPN. Phase II employed a randomized controlled experimental design to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured exercise program in reducing CIPN symptoms among patients with mild to moderate CIPN. Eligible participants were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group received education and supervised exercises involving lower and upper extremity movements, while the control group received routine care. Outcomes were assessed using the Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Assessment Scale before and after a 21-day intervention period.
