Nerve stimulation study for chemotherapy-related nerve pain
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a nerve stimulation treatment to see if it can help reduce pain and improve feeling in the feet for people with nerve damage caused by chemotherapy. You will receive the treatment and have some tests to measure how your nerves are working.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 85 years old.
- You have nerve pain or numbness in your feet caused by chemotherapy (from drugs like taxanes or platinum-based ones).
- You are being seen at MD Anderson Cancer Center's pain clinic.
- You do not have other nerve problems, like from diabetes.
- You don't have an open skin sore or infection requiring antibiotics.
- You haven't had drug or alcohol abuse in the last 6 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks for small molecules in the blood that might predict nerve damage caused by certain chemotherapies. If you have colorectal or lung cancer and are starting a specific chemo plan, this trial could help researchers understand why some people get nerve problems and others don't.
This study tests whether a small device that sends gentle electrical pulses to nerves in your leg can relieve pain caused by chemotherapy. If you have ongoing nerve pain in your legs from past chemo, this treatment might offer a new way to manage it.
This trial tests whether a spinal cord stimulator, a small device that sends gentle electrical signals to block pain, can relieve nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. If you have ongoing numbness or burning in your hands or feet after treatment, this study might help you feel better and improve your quality of life.
This trial tests whether spinal cord stimulation can reduce pain and improve quality of life in people with long-lasting nerve pain from chemotherapy (CIPN). You must already have tried at least two nerve-pain medicines and still have significant pain, and you must have had a successful spinal cord stimulator test before joining.
This trial tests whether a new type of spinal cord stimulator (SCS) can reduce pain caused by chemotherapy. If you have lasting nerve pain after cancer treatment and standard pain medications haven't helped, this device might offer relief.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to see if it can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. It also looks at how the treatment affects the brain and immune system.
