Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) - An overview

About this Webinar: This talk will give a general overview of CIPN and its symptoms, how CIPN may develop from chemotherapy, and the current research on potential treatment options available. Also, a new exercise-based program designed to treat symptoms of persistent (long-lasting) CIPN will be presented as well as the results from a study testing the program’s feasibility, safety, and potential effectiveness in treating CIPN symptoms.
