What this Trial Is About
This study aims to find out if taking specific dietary supplements (PEA and Scutellaria) along with therapeutic exercise can help reduce nerve pain and damage caused by chemotherapy. Many cancer patients experience nerve-related side effects from chemotherapy, which can significantly impact their quality of life. The study will observe patients who use these supplements and exercises to see if they can effectively manage and improve their nerve health and reduce pain.
