Cooling sleeve to help prevent nerve damage from paclitaxel
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a limb “cryocompression” system (a cooling and gentle pressure device) to help prevent chemotherapy-related nerve pain and numbness. It’s for people starting weekly paclitaxel, and may help those trying to avoid or reduce peripheral neuropathy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if wearing special cooling gloves and socks during chemotherapy can help prevent nerve damage, tingling, or numbness in your hands and feet. It is for people with breast or gynecologic cancer who are starting certain types of chemo that can cause these side effects.
This study tests whether wearing cold gloves and socks during paclitaxel chemotherapy can prevent or reduce nerve damage in the hands and feet, a common side effect. If you are getting weekly paclitaxel for breast cancer, this might help keep your hands and feet more comfortable.
This trial tests if cooling sleeves and gloves during chemotherapy can help prevent nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) in people with gynecologic cancers. If you are receiving a common chemo drug called paclitaxel, this approach might reduce side effects like numbness or pain in your hands and feet.
This study looks at whether certain markers in your blood can predict nerve damage from paclitaxel chemotherapy. If you join, researchers will monitor your nerve health during treatment to better understand and possibly prevent side effects.
This trial tests whether adding a cooling and compression treatment to your hands and feet during chemotherapy can help prevent nerve damage (neuropathy) caused by the drug paclitaxel. It may be a good option for people with breast cancer who are about to start this type of chemotherapy and want to reduce side effects.
This trial tests whether cryotherapy (cooling the hands/feet during chemo) can prevent or lessen nerve pain caused by paclitaxel in people with early breast cancer. It may help you stay more comfortable and function better during treatment.
