First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests if a non-invasive treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can reduce nerve pain caused by oxaliplatin chemotherapy in people with stage I-IV cancer. rTMS uses magnetic pulses on the scalp to change brain activity. The trial includes 56 participants and compares rTMS to a placebo or a wait-list group to see if it improves pain and discomfort.
