This study investigates the use of exercise as a treatment for vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Peripheral neuropathy is a condition where nerves are damaged, causing weakness, numbness, and pain, typically in the hands and feet. This study aims to see if exercise can be a feasible and acceptable way to manage these symptoms.
Participants in the study will engage in a structured exercise program. The study will monitor how well participants can follow the exercise routine and how acceptable they find it as part of their treatment plan.
- Who can participate: This study is for children aged 3 to 18 years diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who are experiencing peripheral neuropathy due to vincristine treatment.
- Study details: Participants will take part in a structured exercise program designed to help manage symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. No placebo will be used in this study.
