DAANCE FOR CHEMOTHERAPY-INDUCED NEUROPATHY (NCT06749210)
DANCE-BASED AVENUES TO ADVANCE NONPHARMACOLOGIC TREATMENT OF CHEMOTHERAPY EFFECTS (DAANCE): A MULTICENTER TRIAL
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Up to 80% of breast cancer survivors experience chemotherapy-induced neuropathy that impairs quality of life and increases fall risk long into survivorship, yet treatment options for neuropathy remain limited. The successful treatment will target neurophysiologic mechanisms for restoring function while addressing patient-reported symptoms and participation in treatment. Toward this end, the investigators propose to study a noninvasive, social sensorimotor intervention - Adapted Argentine Tango - which targets motor control restoration, symptom alleviation, and treatment participation in concert.
