Nerve stimulation for chemo-related leg pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had nerve pain in your legs from chemotherapy for at least 3 months
- Your average pain is 4 or higher on a 0–10 scale
- You are 18 to 85 years old
- You finished chemotherapy within the last year
- You do not have a current infection, open wound, or allergy to the numbing medicine or adhesives used in the device

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 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.
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 study tests whether shining light on the feet and legs can help reduce nerve damage caused by chemotherapy in people who had cancer as children. If you have ongoing numbness, tingling, or pain in your hands or feet from past chemo, this trial may offer a gentle, drug-free treatment.
This trial is testing a sensory rehabilitation program for people who have ongoing nerve pain or numbness in their hands or feet after chemotherapy. It aims to help improve sensation and movement.
