Tibial nerve stiffness test for chemo nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound to measure stiffness in the tibial nerve (in your leg) to see if it's linked to nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. It may help doctors better understand and diagnose this type of pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have nerve pain from chemotherapy (scored at least 4 on a nerve pain questionnaire)
- You can have an ultrasound of your tibial nerve in your lower leg
- You do not have diabetes, alcohol use disorder, or other causes of nerve damage
- You do not have a fracture, skin problem, or swelling in your lower leg

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 study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (over the motor cortex) can help relieve pain caused by nerve damage from chemotherapy. It is for people who have completed cancer treatment at least 3 months ago and have ongoing painful neuropathy.
This study tests a spinal cord stimulator—a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine—to see if it can reduce severe nerve pain that lasts more than 6 months after chemotherapy. It is for people who have tried other treatments like duloxetine but still have significant pain.
This study looks at how chemotherapy that can affect nerves (“neurotoxic” chemo) changes nerve function over time. It may help researchers better measure nerve side effects and improve care for people who need these cancer treatments.
This trial tests whether spinal cord stimulation can reduce pain and improve quality of life in people with long-lasting nerve pain from chemotherapy (CIPN). You must already have tried at least two nerve-pain medicines and still have significant pain, and you must have had a successful spinal cord stimulator test before joining.
