Summary

This study tests whether spinal cord stimulation (SCS) can reduce pain and improve quality of life in people with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). CIPN causes numbness, tingling, and pain, often in the hands and feet. Researchers will follow 20 adults who have had CIPN for at least six months and have not found relief from standard pain medications. Participants will receive SCS therapy and be monitored for up to 12 months.
