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 study tests if electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) combined with exercise can help reduce numbness, tingling, or pain caused by certain chemotherapy drugs. If you have nerve symptoms from taxane or platinum chemo and can walk on your own, this may be a good fit.
This trial tests a home-based program combining gentle exercise with a small device that stimulates the vagus nerve (a nerve that helps calm the body) to relieve nerve pain, numbness, and tingling in the hands and feet caused by chemotherapy. If you've had these symptoms after platinum or taxane chemotherapy, this may help improve your daily comfort and function.
This trial tests if wearing compressive therapy (like special sleeves or stockings) during weekly paclitaxel chemotherapy can prevent nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) in breast cancer patients. It is for people who have not yet had nerve issues or diabetes.
