Painless skin test spots nerve damage in kids after chemo
NCT ID NCT04262778
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new, non-invasive tool that measures skin conductance to detect small nerve fiber damage in children undergoing chemotherapy. Nerve damage is a common and serious side effect of cancer treatment, but current tests are often painful or not suitable for children. The goal was to see if this simple device could accurately identify nerve problems early, which could help doctors manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
