Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Examine effects of Tai Chi Easy (TCEasy) exercise intervention on peripheral sensory neuropathy of cancer survivors who have chemotherapy compared with an educational control (EC) intervention.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.

GROUP I (TAI CHI EASY): Patients attend Tai Chi Easy class for 60 minutes once a week for 6 weeks. Patients also receive a DVD and exercise manual of Tai Chi Easy exercises and are encouraged to practice at home for 30 minutes most days per week for 6 weeks.

GROUP II (EDUCATIONAL CONTROL): Patients receive readings each week and attend a book club to discuss the readings for 60 minutes once a week for 6 weeks.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at 2 months.
