Oxygen therapy for chemo-related nerve pain in breast cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can reduce nerve pain caused by the chemotherapy drug nab-paclitaxel in breast cancer patients. It may help women who have finished chemo and are still dealing with numbness, tingling, or pain in their hands or feet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether using essential oils can help reduce pain, tingling, or numbness in hands and feet caused by paclitaxel chemotherapy for breast cancer. If regular pain medications aren't working well, this natural approach may offer additional relief.
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 if a specific type of brain stimulation can help reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. It also uses brain scans to see how the treatment works.
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 whether soaking your feet in cold salt water before chemotherapy can help prevent nerve damage (called peripheral neuropathy) that is a common side effect of the breast cancer drug paclitaxel.
