A study of compression gloves and boots to prevent chemo nerve damage
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
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 trial tests whether acupuncture and compression therapy can prevent nerve damage caused by taxane chemotherapy in early-stage breast cancer. It aims to reduce numbness, tingling, or pain in the hands and feet.
This study tests whether wearing cold gloves and socks during paclitaxel chemotherapy can prevent or reduce nerve damage in the hands and feet, a common side effect. If you are getting weekly paclitaxel for breast cancer, this might help keep your hands and feet more comfortable.
This trial tests whether a drug called GM1 can prevent nerve damage (numbness, tingling, or pain in hands/feet) caused by a common chemotherapy drug used for breast cancer. If you are starting chemotherapy with nab-paclitaxel, this study may help protect your nerves.
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 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.
