Can a pressure controller help with nerve pain from chemo?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a device that applies real-time pressure to see if it can reduce numbness, tingling, or pain caused by a chemotherapy drug called albumin paclitaxel. It may help people starting this treatment for the first time.
