Exercise Intervention for Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
3. juni 2026 oppdatert av: Seethalakshmi Avudaiappan, Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research
Prevalence and Effectiveness of Exercise on Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy Among Oncology Patients
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.

Detaljert beskrivelse
This quantitative study was conducted in two phases. Phase I assessed the prevalence of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy among oncology patients receiving chemotherapy. A total of 282 participants were enrolled.
Based on the prevalence findings, Phase II was conducted to determine the effectiveness of a structured exercise program. One hundred and twenty patients with mild or moderate CIPN were randomly allocated into intervention (n=60) and control (n=60) groups using a lottery method. The intervention consisted of education regarding CIPN and a structured exercise program including toe flexion and extension, ankle circles, toe spreading, heel raises, finger extension stretches, pinch grips, and finger circles. Exercises were performed 10-15 repetitions per extremity, 2-3 times daily, for 21 days.
Participants in the control group received routine oncology care. CIPN severity was measured before and after the intervention using the Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Assessment Scale. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, independent t-tests, and chi-square tests.

Eksperimentell: Experimental Arm: Structured Exercise Program
Participants received structured education regarding chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy and performed a supervised exercise program involving lower and upper extremity exercises for 21 days in addition to routine care.
|
Patients in the intervention group receive structured education about CIPN, which included its definition, risk factors, signs and symptoms, and management through exercises.
The exercises were demonstrated by the researcher and involved leg toe flexion and extension, ankle circles, toe spreading, heel raises, as well as hand exercises such as finger extension stretches, pinch grips, and finger circles.
Participants were asked to return demonstrate the exercises, continue practicing them under supervision for one to two days during hospitalization for chemotherapy and after discharge for a period of 21 days when they came for their subsequent cycle of chemotherapy.
This was then reinforced using a pamphlet which was provided to the patients, and patients were encouraged to maintain a daily practice

Ingen inngripen: Control Arm: Routine Care
