Vibrating away chemo pain: simple hand device tested in new study
NCT ID NCT04207437
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This small pilot study tests whether using a hand-held vibration device for just 3 minutes each day can safely reduce nerve pain and numbness in the hands caused by chemotherapy. Sixteen adults who finished chemotherapy at least 60 days ago will try the therapy at home. The main goal is to see if the approach is practical and safe, with early signs of symptom improvement.
