Exercise Reduces Nerve Damage from Chemotherapy, Study Finds

A recent study by researchers from the University of Basel and the German Sport University Cologne found that physical exercise can significantly reduce nerve damage during chemotherapy treatments. Patients who engaged in exercise alongside their chemotherapy experienced a 50 to 70 percent reduction in nerve damage, leading to improved quality of life and lower mortality rates. Integrating simple exercises into cancer treatment regimens may help mitigate side effects and enhance post-treatment recovery for patients.
