Can a special diet soothe chemo nerve damage?

NCT ID NCT07365007

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a diet low in added sugar, high in fiber, and rich in omega-3s (called LASO-3) can help reduce nerve pain, numbness, and tingling caused by chemotherapy. Fifty cancer survivors who finished chemo at least three months ago will receive virtual nutrition coaching from a dietitian. The main goal is to see if the program is practical and acceptable, not yet to prove it works.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
dietary intervention (low added sugar, high fiber, high omega-3)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, non-drug way to manage nerve pain after chemotherapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The diet requires significant lifestyle changes, and adherence may be low.
