First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether wearing a tight surgical glove on one hand during chemotherapy can prevent nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) in breast cancer patients. 44 participants will wear a smaller glove on their dominant hand during each chemo session, while the other hand serves as a comparison. The goal is to see if this simple, low-cost technique reduces numbness, tingling, and pain.
