Electric pulses tested for chemo nerve pain in breast cancer

NCT ID NCT05368428

First seen May 18, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at whether a device called TENS, which sends mild electrical pulses to the skin, could help relieve nerve pain (tingling, numbness) caused by chemotherapy in people with early-stage breast cancer. Only 17 people took part before the study was stopped early. The goal was to see if using TENS daily for two weeks was practical and could reduce symptoms.
