CHEMOTHERAPY-INDUCED PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY

This study tests a natural substance called GM1 to see if it can prevent nerve damage (pain, numbness, tingling) caused by the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel in people with metastatic breast cancer. About 98 participants will receive either GM1 or a placebo alongside their chemo. T…

This study tests whether wearing two layers of surgical gloves during paclitaxel chemotherapy can prevent nerve damage in the hands. About 104 breast cancer patients will be randomly assigned to wear the gloves or not. Researchers will compare changes in nerve pain and function b…

This phase 2 trial tests whether combining neurofeedback (a brain-wave training therapy) with the drug duloxetine can better relieve nerve pain caused by chemotherapy than either treatment alone. About 336 cancer survivors with persistent nerve pain will be randomly assigned to o…

This pilot study tests whether a vibrating device strapped to the leg can improve walking in young cancer survivors (ages 6-39) who have nerve damage from chemotherapy. Ten participants will have the device applied to leg muscles while their step times are measured. The goal is t…

This study tests whether a 10-week, at-home exercise program is safe and helpful for cancer survivors who have ongoing nerve pain, numbness, or tingling from chemotherapy. About 40 participants will do remote exercise sessions and health coaching calls. The goal is to see if the …

This study tests a treatment called neuromodulation to see if it can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. About 24 adults with nerve pain in their legs from certain chemo drugs will take part. Researchers will check for side effects and measure changes in pain and nerve func…

This study tests whether a structured exercise program can reduce chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) — nerve damage causing pain, numbness, or tingling. About 133 cancer patients who received certain chemotherapies will either follow an exercise plan or receive sta…

This study looks at whether massage therapy can reduce nerve problems like pain, numbness, and tingling caused by chemotherapy in people with breast or digestive system cancers. About 90 participants will receive massage sessions to see if it improves symptoms and quality of life…

This study tests whether yoga can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy in cancer survivors. About 227 participants will either take yoga classes twice a week for 8 weeks, attend educational sessions, or receive standard care. Researchers will measure pain, balance, fall risk,…

This study tests if acupuncture can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy in cancer survivors. About 255 people who finished chemo at least three months ago will receive either real or sham acupuncture. The goal is to see if this drug-free approach can ease pain and improve da…

This study tests whether daily exposure to green LED light can reduce chronic pain. 55 adults with conditions like fibromyalgia or nerve pain will use a green or white light device at home for 2 hours each day over 3 months. Researchers will measure changes in pain levels, medica…

This study tests whether neurofeedback training—a non-invasive therapy that uses brain wave monitoring—can help people with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (nerve pain, numbness, or tingling) learn to change their own brain activity to feel less pain and improve qualit…

This study tests if a non-invasive treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can reduce nerve pain caused by oxaliplatin chemotherapy in people with stage I-IV cancer. rTMS uses magnetic pulses on the scalp to change brain activity. The trial includes 5…

This phase II trial tests whether a natural supplement called PEA can relieve nerve pain, numbness, and tingling caused by chemotherapy in cancer patients. About 88 adults who have had nerve symptoms for at least 3 months after chemo will take PEA or a placebo for 8 weeks. The st…

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called prolonged continuous theta burst stimulation (pcTBS) to relieve nerve pain caused by chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. Forty women will receive either pcTBS or standard repetitive transcranial magnetic stimu…
