Managing nerve damage from chemo in GI cancer survivors
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests different integrative approaches (like acupuncture or supplements) to help GI cancer survivors manage nerve damage from chemotherapy. You may be able to join if you have ongoing numbness and tingling from chemo.

This study tests whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) can help prevent nerve damage, called peripheral neuropathy, that often happens during chemotherapy. If you are getting certain chemo drugs for advanced cancer, this treatment might reduce tingling, numbness, or pain in your hands and feet.
This study tests whether acupuncture can help prevent nerve damage and pain caused by chemotherapy in people with early-stage cancer. It may be an option for those starting chemotherapy that includes certain drugs like taxanes, utidelone, or oxaliplatin.
This study tests a diet program delivered online to help reduce nerve damage symptoms like numbness and tingling caused by chemotherapy. It is for cancer survivors who completed treatment and still have these symptoms.
This study tests whether acupuncture can help reduce nerve pain, numbness, or tingling in hands and feet caused by chemotherapy for gynecologic cancers. You may join if you finished certain chemo at least 3 months ago and still have these symptoms.
This study tests if virtual group acupuncture can help reduce nerve pain and numbness caused by chemotherapy (called CIPN). It is for people who finished taxane-based chemo for early-stage breast cancer and still have symptoms.
This study tests if electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) combined with exercise can help reduce numbness, tingling, or pain caused by certain chemotherapy drugs. If you have nerve symptoms from taxane or platinum chemo and can walk on your own, this may be a good fit.
