NCT ID NCT04207437

First seen Feb 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 17 times

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.
