Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is a common side effect of cancer treatment. The techniques employed and/or described in this video may help alleviate symptoms, but there is no clear treatment for neuropathy that will improve nerve damage. It is important to speak with your cancer care team to report any concerns and create a treatment plan that works for you.
