This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a virtual Tai Chi program—a gentle mind-body practice involving slow movements, meditation, and breathing—can help cancer survivors who are experiencing nerve damage and balance problems from chemotherapy. About 21 cancer survivors will be randomly assigned to either start Tai Chi right away or wait 12 weeks while receiving their usual care. Researchers want to see if Tai Chi is practical and helpful for this specific problem.
Nerve damage from chemotherapy is a common and difficult side effect that can make it hard to balance and increases the risk of falling. This study exists because current treatment options are limited, and researchers believe that gentle, accessible exercises like Tai Chi might help ease these symptoms.

If you're selected, you'll have a 50% chance of starting Tai Chi right away or waiting 12 weeks. If you start immediately, you'll attend two in-person visits at Dana-Farber (at the beginning and at week 12) and do virtual Tai Chi classes twice a week plus practice on your own 3 days a week—all 60-minute sessions. If you're in the waitlist group, you'll continue your regular care and have the same two visits, then get free Tai Chi training after the 12 weeks end. The entire study lasts up to 12 weeks.
