Cold therapy for nerve pain in kids on vincristine
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if applying cold to hands and feet can help prevent or reduce nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) caused by the chemotherapy drug vincristine in children and teens. It's for patients aged 7-18 who are newly diagnosed and getting their first round of treatment.
