Pandemic's toll on cancer patients with neuropathy under the microscope
NCT ID NCT04650178
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the quality of life of 274 cancer patients who also have neuropathy (nerve pain). All participants had taken part in earlier clinical trials. Researchers want to see if there are differences between those who received a brain-training therapy called neurofeedback and those who did not. The goal is to learn how to better support patients during future health emergencies.
