Acupuncture-like electrical stimulation for nerve pain after chemo
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You finished chemotherapy or postoperative chemo within the last 3 months
- Your nerve pain was caused by chemotherapy and is still present after treatment
