Capsaicin cream for chemo-related nerve pain in legs
This study tests whether an 8% capsaicin cream (a chili-pepper derived treatment) can help reduce nerve pain and numbness in the legs caused by cancer chemotherapy drugs (taxanes). The cream is applied directly to affected areas, and the research team will track whether it improves your symptoms and pain levels over time.
