Summary
This study tests whether a small handheld device with bumps, called a Palm Stimulator, can help reduce pain, fear, and anxiety when cancer patients get an IV for chemotherapy. About 90 adults will be randomly assigned to either squeeze the device during the procedure or receive standard care. The goal is to offer a simple, drug-free way to improve comfort during a common but stressful medical procedure.
