Glove compression to prevent nerve damage from chemo
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether wearing a simple surgical glove during chemotherapy can help reduce nerve damage (tingling or numbness in hands and feet) caused by the chemo drugs. If it works, it could make treatment easier to tolerate.
