Mobile app teaching caregivers massage for nerve pain from chemo
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests if a mobile app can help caregivers learn massage techniques to ease nerve pain (numbness, tingling, or burning) in patients who have lingering symptoms from chemotherapy. It's for people who finished chemo at least 6 months ago and still have moderate-to-severe symptoms.
