Tight gloves for nerve protection during taxane chemo
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing tight surgical gloves during taxane chemotherapy can help reduce nerve damage in the hands and feet. It may be a good fit if you have breast or urogenital cancer and are starting taxane treatment for the first time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have breast or urogenital cancer (like ovarian, prostate, or bladder).
- This is your first time getting a type of chemo called taxanes (such as Taxol, Taxotere, or Abraxane).
- You have not had any other chemo or treatment that could cause nerve damage in the past 2 years.
- You do not have a history of nerve problems like Raynaud's, fibromyalgia, or diabetic neuropathy.
- You are not taking medications for nerve pain, like duloxetine or gabapentin.
- You can speak and understand English or German well enough to talk with the study team.
