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.
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 is testing a wearable device (gloves and boots) that applies gentle compression to your hands and feet during chemotherapy. It aims to prevent or reduce nerve damage (numbness, tingling, pain) that some chemotherapy drugs can cause.
This trial tests whether acupuncture and compression therapy can prevent nerve damage caused by taxane chemotherapy in early-stage breast cancer. It aims to reduce numbness, tingling, or pain in the hands and feet.
This study tests if electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) combined with exercise can help reduce numbness, tingling, or pain caused by certain chemotherapy drugs. If you have nerve symptoms from taxane or platinum chemo and can walk on your own, this may be a good fit.
This trial tests whether cooling the hands and feet during taxane chemotherapy can prevent or reduce nerve pain (peripheral neuropathy). It may help breast cancer patients who have not had nerve problems before.
