Ultrasound of leg nerve for chemotherapy-related nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound to look at the tibial nerve in your leg to see how chemotherapy-related nerve pain affects it. If you have tingling, burning, or numbness from chemotherapy, this scan may help doctors understand and potentially improve treatment for your pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have been diagnosed with nerve pain caused by chemotherapy (with a score of at least 4 on a standard pain scale)
- You do not have diabetes or a history of regular alcohol use
- You do not have fractures, skin wounds, or swelling in your legs
- You are able to give written consent and cooperate with the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a small device that sends gentle electrical pulses to nerves in your leg can relieve pain caused by chemotherapy. If you have ongoing nerve pain in your legs from past chemo, this treatment might offer a new way to manage it.
This study tests a new gel (VMD-3866) applied to the skin to treat moderate nerve pain, numbness, or tingling caused by previous chemotherapy. It aims to see if the gel can safely reduce pain for people whose symptoms have been stable for at least 8 weeks.
This trial looks at whether light (photobiomodulation) and laser-like therapy can reduce nerve pain in people who developed neuropathy after chemotherapy. If you match the chemotherapy and language requirements, you may be screened to see if this treatment is safe and helpful for your symptoms.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to see if it can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. It also looks at how the treatment affects the brain and immune system.
This study tests whether shining light on the feet and legs can help reduce nerve damage caused by chemotherapy in people who had cancer as children. If you have ongoing numbness, tingling, or pain in your hands or feet from past chemo, this trial may offer a gentle, drug-free treatment.
This trial tests whether a spinal cord stimulator, a small device that sends gentle electrical signals to block pain, can relieve nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. If you have ongoing numbness or burning in your hands or feet after treatment, this study might help you feel better and improve your quality of life.
