This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This 16-week study tests whether tai chi, qi gong, acupuncture, and alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) can help ease the numbness and tingling in your hands and feet that sometimes happens after chemotherapy for stomach, colon, or related cancers. You'll start with either tai chi/qi gong classes or the supplement, and based on how well it works for you, the treatment may be adjusted or combined with other approaches to find what helps most.
Many patients treated with chemotherapy develop lasting nerve damage that causes numbness and tingling. Current treatment options are limited, so researchers want to see if these gentler, integrative approaches—either alone or in combination—can safely reduce these symptoms.

You'll participate for 16 weeks total. First, you'll be assigned to either twice-weekly online tai chi/qi gong classes (1 hour per session) or daily alpha-lipoic acid supplement. At week 8, researchers will check how well the treatment is working for you. If it's helping, you'll continue with the same approach. If not, you'll add acupuncture or try a combination of treatments. You'll have check-ins at weeks 8 and 16 to measure any improvement in your numbness and tingling.
