Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is a significant, debilitating symptom directly related to the administration of neurotoxin chemotherapy for cancer treatment. Effective management for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is lacking and therefore treatment options are limited. Exercise has been shown to counteract disease and treatment-associated side effects and considers an effective supportive therapy method Purpose: the purpose of this manuscript was to map and summarize the findings of the current research studies that discuss the effectiveness of exercise in the management of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy among cancer patients. Methodology: CINAHL, Google Search, and PubMed were used. Only seven studies met the inclusion criteria. All included studies were appraises for the level of evidence. Findings: the results of the included articles showed that exercise programs can reduce symptoms of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy among patients with cancer.
