Could a pair of gloves stop Chemo's painful side effect?
NCT ID NCT07504770
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a simple idea: wearing tight surgical gloves during paclitaxel chemotherapy might prevent nerve damage in the hands. About 84 breast cancer patients will be randomly assigned to either wear the gloves during treatment or receive standard care. Researchers will then compare how many develop hand numbness, tingling, or pain, and how it affects their daily life.
