Summary

This study looks at whether ziconotide, a drug given through a pump in the spine, can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. Researchers will track pain levels and daily function in 24 adults over 24 months. The goal is to see if this already-approved pain treatment can help people with this common, long-lasting side effect of cancer treatment.
