Could light therapy ease Chemo's nerve pain?
NCT ID NCT07681921
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This trial investigates whether photobiomodulation (low-level laser light) can reduce early nerve damage caused by chemotherapy. About 98 cancer patients with early signs of peripheral neuropathy will receive either light therapy or a placebo. The goal is to see if this non-invasive treatment can lessen pain, numbness, and improve daily function.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
photobiomodulation (low-level laser light)
What this could lead to
If effective, this could offer a non-drug way to ease chemotherapy-induced nerve pain and improve quality of life for cancer patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial. The treatment may not reduce symptoms significantly, and results may not apply to all types of chemotherapy or cancers.
