Surgical glove compression to prevent nerve damage from paclitaxel
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if wearing surgical gloves that compress the hands can prevent nerve damage caused by the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel. If you have a solid tumor and are getting paclitaxel every 3 weeks, this might help reduce numbness, tingling, or pain in your hands.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
