Brain wave therapy may ease chemo nerve pain

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 quality of life. About 91 adults with moderate to severe nerve pain from past chemotherapy will be randomly assigned to active, deactivated, or no neurofeedback sessions. The goal is to see if this brain training approach offers a drug-free way to manage persistent nerve pain.
