Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
According to the incidence rate of cancer, the digestive tract cancer accounts for two of the top ten cancers. It also accounts for half of the top ten causes of cancer death. Chemotherapy remains one of the most common forms of cancer treatment, and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is one of the common adverse effects of cancer treatment in cancer survivors. To date, there is no exercise guideline established for patients with CIPN; therefore, CIPN remains quite threatening to cancer survivors. Due to limited studies on effects of exercise on improvement of CIPN symptoms in patients with digestive tract cancers, this study aims to investigate the effects of exercise and different intervention delivery modes (remote home exercise and exercise under supervision) at different time points on the CIPN symptoms, body inflammatory index, physical function, and quality of life of gastrointestinal cancer survivors with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.

- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- remote home-based exercise therapy group
- description
- Location and Frequency: Four times per week at the individual's own home. Exercise Duration: Eight weeks (subject to adjustments based on actual progress), with a total exercise time of 40 minutes each session. Exercise Components: Cardiovascular endurance exercise, resistance training, sensory exercises. Note: The participant will receive a customized exercise plan based on their capabilities, including guidelines and exercise instructions (exercise names, required equipment, movement sequences, repetitions, precautions).

- supervised exercise therapy group
- description
- Exercise Location and Frequency: Physiotherapy Center (twice a week) and individual's home (twice a week). Exercise Duration: Eight weeks (subject to adjustments based on actual progress), with a total exercise time of 40 minutes each session. Exercise Components: Cardiovascular endurance exercise, resistance training, sensory training exercises. The home-based exercise training content is partially the same as the remote home-based exercise group.
