Hyperbaric oxygen for paclitaxel-related nerve damage
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help reduce nerve damage symptoms—like numbness, tingling, or pain in the hands and feet—caused by the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel in people with breast cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman or man between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer for the first time (newly diagnosed).
- You have had chemotherapy with a drug called paclitaxel (or similar) and you now have numbness, tingling, or pain in your hands or feet (a condition called peripheral neuropathy).
- You must not have any other type of cancer.
- You cannot have conditions that make hyperbaric oxygen therapy unsafe, such as a collapsed lung, or be taking certain drugs like disulfiram, bleomycin, cisplatin, or adriamycin.

This study tests adding hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) to standard neoadjuvant therapy (treatment before surgery) for people with hormone receptor positive breast cancer. The goal is to see if it helps shrink tumors more effectively while being safe.
This trial tests adding hyperbaric oxygen (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) before standard chemotherapy for breast cancer. The goal is to see if it helps shrink the tumor more effectively before surgery.
This trial tests if adding hyperbaric oxygen (breathing pure oxygen in a high-pressure chamber) to standard pre-surgery treatment can help women with triple-negative or HER2-positive breast cancer. The goal is to see if it makes treatment work better and is safe.
This trial tests if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can reduce nerve pain caused by the chemotherapy drug nab-paclitaxel in breast cancer patients. It may help women who have finished chemo and are still dealing with numbness, tingling, or pain in their hands or feet.
This trial tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen) can prevent lung inflammation caused by breast cancer radiation. It may help reduce the risk of radiation pneumonitis in certain breast cancer survivors.
This study tests whether wearing cold gloves and socks during paclitaxel chemotherapy can prevent or reduce nerve damage in the hands and feet, a common side effect. If you are getting weekly paclitaxel for breast cancer, this might help keep your hands and feet more comfortable.
