The Effect of Personalized Exercise Interventions for the Prevention of Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy

The scientific goals of the project are: 1. The primary scientific objective of the study is to determine the effect of a patient-tailored exercise program based on exercise guidelines in oncology on sensory symptoms of CIPN (QLQ-CIPN20, sensory subscale) at short term (12 weeks) compared to usual care. 2. The secondary scientific objectives entail to examine if the exercise program has beneficial short (i.e., 12 weeks) and- or long term (i.e., 24 weeks) effects on symptoms of CIPN (QLQ-CIPN20, motor and autonomic subscale) and other biopsychosocial outcomes related to CIPN: (1) Signs of CIPN, (2) Physical functioning, (3) Psychosocial functioning, and (4) Relative dose intensity of chemotherapy. 3. The tertiary objective of this study is to perform a process evaluation. The aim of this process evaluation is to investigate the barriers and facilitators of the exercise program in patients receiving taxane- or platinum-based chemotherapy by examining adherence to the exercise program as well as how patients and healthcare providers perceive the implementation of the exercise program.
