Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Whole Body Vibration for the Improvement of Health and Functioning in Participants With Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy

Study Description

Brief Summary: This clinical trial studies how well whole body vibration works in improving the health and functioning of participants with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy is a condition caused by exposure to chemotherapy drugs that may involve numbness/tingling and/or pain in the hands and feet, which can have adverse effects on daily life. Whole body vibration may cause weight loss and improve mobility and pain levels in cancer survivors who report symptoms of peripheral neuropathy.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the feasibility and safety of whole body vibration (WBV) in adult cancer survivors with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). II. Determine the effect of WBV training on physical functioning in adult cancer survivors with CIPN. III. Explore the effect of WBV training on symptom relief (neuropathy symptoms, pain, fatigue) and readiness to exercise in adult cancer survivors with CIPN. OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 groups. GROUP I (WBV): Participants complete two 10-minute WBV sessions per day, 7 days per week for 12 weeks. GROUP II (USUAL CARE \[UC\]): Participants receive usual care and keep their same physical activity or dietary habits over 12 weeks. After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up at 12 weeks.
