[Management of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy : role of physical activity]

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is common and disabling. CIPN's sensory and motor symptoms can negatively affect physical function, independence, and quality of life. Physical activity (PA) may help mitigate these adverse effects. In a preventive context, programs combining endurance, resistance, and sensorimotor exercises may reduce the incidence of CIPN, limit certain functional impairments, and improve treatment tolerance. In patients already experiencing CIPN, PA may alleviate symptoms and enhance quality of life. Supervised programs lasting 8 to 12 weeks, with three to five 30 - to 60-minute sessions at a moderate intensity per week are recommended.
