Обзор
This research is being done to determine whether a 12-week virtual Tai Chi training program, designed to improve balance and small nerve fiber function, is feasible and acceptable among cancer survivors with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN).
Подробное описание
This is a prospective, randomized, waitlist-controlled pilot trial to examine the suitability of the virtual Tai Chi program in cancer survivors with CIPN. Tai Chi is a mind-body practice that involves gentle body movements, meditation, and breathing techniques. It has proven to be effective in enhancing balance control and relieving musculoskeletal pains.
This study randomly assigns cancer survivors with CIPN with self-perceived balance difficulties to one of two groups: Group A Tai Chi Group versus Group B Waitlist Group. Randomization means a participant is placed into a study group by chance.
The research study procedures including screening for eligibility, questionnaires, and sensory and functional testing.
Participation in this study is expected to last for up to 12 weeks.
It is expected that about 21 people will take part in this research study.
