Botox injections for nerve pain after chemotherapy in breast cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial studies whether botulinum toxin A (Botox) injections can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy in people with breast cancer. It may help if your pain started soon after chemotherapy and fits the trial’s specific nerve-pain pattern.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had breast cancer and you were treated with a taxane chemotherapy drug (for example, paclitaxel or docetaxel).
- Your nerve pain started within 6 months after chemotherapy ended.
- Your pain matches a neuropathic (nerve-type) pain screening score (DN4 score greater than 4).
- You are age 18 or older and can read and sign informed consent.
- You are not currently on chemotherapy, and you did not finish chemotherapy within the last 6 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests three different injections (a nerve block, capsaicin, or botox) to find which works best for chronic nerve pain after breast cancer surgery. If you have ongoing pain in a small area on your chest, armpit, or arm that started 3 to 9 months after surgery, this study may help you find better relief.
This trial tests if electroacupuncture can help with nerve pain or numbness caused by taxane chemotherapy for breast cancer. It may offer relief for ongoing symptoms after treatment.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether injecting incobotulinumtoxin-A near painful nerves can reduce nerve-type pain in the feet for people with diabetes. If you have lasting, fairly symmetrical pain in both feet, the injections may help calm the nerve pain signals.
This trial studies whether a skin-applied, acupuncture-like electrical treatment can reduce ongoing nerve pain (chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy) after breast cancer chemotherapy. It may help if your nerve symptoms have not improved after finishing chemo.
This trial tests whether acupuncture and compression therapy can prevent nerve damage caused by taxane chemotherapy in early-stage breast cancer. It aims to reduce numbness, tingling, or pain in the hands and feet.
This trial tests two ways of injecting botulinum toxin (a medication that relaxes muscles and reduces nerve pain) directly into painful nerve tissue that forms after combat-related amputation. The goal is to find which injection technique works better for chronic neuroma pain—the painful scar tissue that can develop at amputation sites.
