Introduction[edit | edit source]
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) commonly occurs as an adverse event following chemotherapy.CIPN can have an effect on the sensory, motor and/or autonomic nerves[1]. Currently there is no gold standard for diagnosis, no proven ways to lessen or stop this condition and treatment strategies need be addressed.[1]Physiotherapy, in the form of exercise therapy, has been shown to have a role in reducing symptoms in CIPN[2].
