NCT ID NCT06873360
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study involved 50 people with gastrointestinal cancer who had nerve pain from the chemotherapy drug oxaliplatin. Researchers interviewed patients to understand their symptoms and how the pain affected their daily life. The goal was to use this information to design a medical device that could prevent or reduce this nerve damage. The study did not test a treatment, but gathered insights to guide future device development.
