Cold compression for nerve pain during gynecologic cancer chemo
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether cold compression (a cooling wrap) can help prevent or reduce nerve pain and tingling that chemotherapy for gynecologic cancers may cause. It aims to improve comfort and quality of life during treatment.

This trial tests whether wearing compression garments on the hands and feet during chemotherapy can help prevent nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) caused by certain chemo drugs. It is for people being treated for breast, rectal, or colorectal cancer.
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 tests whether using cooling and/or compression on the arms or legs can prevent nerve damage that can happen from certain chemotherapy drugs. If you get eligible chemo soon, this may help lower the chance of painful numbness or tingling during treatment.
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.
This trial tests whether cryotherapy (cooling the hands/feet during chemo) can prevent or lessen nerve pain caused by paclitaxel in people with early breast cancer. It may help you stay more comfortable and function better during treatment.
