First seen Nov 18, 2025 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study tests whether a device that cools and squeezes the arms and legs during chemotherapy can help prevent or reduce nerve damage, which often causes numbness, tingling, and pain. About 50 adults with breast or gynecologic cancer receiving a specific type of chemo (taxanes) will wear the device during their infusions. Researchers will measure how well patients tolerate the device and whether it reduces nerve symptoms.
