NCT ID NCT07614243
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether roasted nux vomica capsules can help with nerve pain caused by the chemotherapy drug bortezomib in multiple myeloma patients. Twenty-two participants took the capsules for six weeks while continuing their regular chemo. Researchers measured changes in nerve pain severity and quality of life, and also looked at a specific genetic pathway (lncRNA ZFAS1) to understand how the treatment might work.
