Exercise-based Rehabilitation to Treat Persistent Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN)
Sponsor: University Health Network, Toronto
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the EX-CIPN exercise-based intervention is feasible, acceptable, and safe in participants with persistent chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). It will also give insight on the effectiveness of the exercise intervention in treating CIPN symptoms. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is EX-CIPN safe, acceptable, and feasible in cancer survivors experiencing persistent CIPN? * Are the study design and methods feasible (recruitment and retention rates, feasibility of data collection and procedures)? Researchers will provide all participants with the exercise-based intervention. Participants will: * Complete assessments at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and 3-months post-intervention * Complete a 10-week remote, individualized exercise program * Receive health coaching calls on weeks 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 of the intervention * Wear a FitBit throughout the study to track physical activity and promote behaviour change

Interventions
EX-CIPN
The 10-week intervention includes: Individualized Exercise Program: Each participant will receive an individualized progressive exercise program that includes cardiovascular and strength training as well as balance and desensitization exercises and will be adjusted to the needs of the patient. Remote Monitoring: Fitbit™ devices will be used to monitor patients' physical activity over the duration of the program. Fitness trackers can promote behaviour change and allows for self-monitoring and feedback to the participant. Remote Person-to-Person Clinical Support: Participants will have scheduled remote check-ins and health coaching sessions with their assigned RKin over Microsoft Teams (MSTeams) on weeks 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 of the intervention. During these calls, the RKin will review, adapt, and progress the exercise program as needed, discuss and develop goals for the following week, and identify potential barriers and solutions in achieving their goals.
