Gel to prevent nerve pain from breast cancer chemo
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a gel applied to the skin that may help prevent nerve pain and numbness caused by common breast cancer chemotherapy drugs (paclitaxel and docetaxel). The goal is to see if the gel is safe and effective in reducing these side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 studies whether a skin-applied, acupuncture-like electrical treatment can reduce ongoing nerve pain (chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy) after breast cancer chemotherapy. It may help if your nerve symptoms have not improved after finishing chemo.
This trial tests if cooling sleeves and gloves during chemotherapy can help prevent nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) in people with gynecologic cancers. If you are receiving a common chemo drug called paclitaxel, this approach might reduce side effects like numbness or pain in your hands and feet.
This trial tests if wearing special cooling gloves and socks during chemotherapy can help prevent nerve damage, tingling, or numbness in your hands and feet. It is for people with breast or gynecologic cancer who are starting certain types of chemo that can cause these side effects.
This study looks at whether certain markers in your blood can predict nerve damage from paclitaxel chemotherapy. If you join, researchers will monitor your nerve health during treatment to better understand and possibly prevent side effects.
This trial tests whether adding a cooling and compression treatment to your hands and feet during chemotherapy can help prevent nerve damage (neuropathy) caused by the drug paclitaxel. It may be a good option for people with breast cancer who are about to start this type of chemotherapy and want to reduce side effects.
