Cold therapy for nerve pain from breast cancer chemo
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether cooling the hands and feet during taxane chemotherapy can prevent or reduce nerve pain (peripheral neuropathy). It may help breast cancer patients who have not had nerve problems before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
- You received chemotherapy that included a taxane drug (like paclitaxel or docetaxel).
- You have not had peripheral neuropathy before.
- You do not have diabetes, autoimmune disease, or certain other conditions.
- You have no active sores or cuts on your hands or feet.
- You can communicate clearly and have no mental health issues that would interfere.

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 if wearing cold gloves and socks during chemo can prevent nerve damage in hands and feet. It is for women with breast or genital cancer getting a taxane chemo drug for the first time.
This study tests a cooling device (HILOTERM) worn on the hands and feet to try to prevent nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) from paclitaxel chemotherapy in women with breast cancer after surgery.
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.
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.
