Using a gentle head device to help with nerve pain from chemo
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a low-intensity cranial PEMF device to see if it can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. Participants use the device at home and receive text messages to track their symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS) can help reduce numbness, tingling, or pain caused by chemotherapy. It is for people who have completed active cancer treatment.
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 trial tests whether a new type of spinal cord stimulator (SCS) can reduce pain caused by chemotherapy. If you have lasting nerve pain after cancer treatment and standard pain medications haven't helped, this device might offer relief.
This trial tests a small device you wear on your ear to see if it can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy (CIPN). You use it yourself at home, and it may help with the tingling, numbness, or burning in your hands and feet.
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.
