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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older.
- You have moderate numbness or tingling in your hands or feet (at least a 2 out of 4) in the past week.

This study tests whether acupuncture can help prevent nerve pain and numbness (called peripheral neuropathy) that sometimes happens during chemotherapy for advanced cancer. Researchers will use electroacupuncture—a traditional technique with mild electrical stimulation—alongside your regular chemotherapy to see if it protects your nerves.
This trial tests if acupuncture can prevent nerve damage caused by certain chemotherapy drugs. It is for people with early-stage breast, stomach, colon, lung, or ovarian cancer who have not had nerve symptoms before.
This study tests whether tai chi can help cancer survivors with nerve damage from chemotherapy. You will be randomly assigned to take tai chi classes or join a waitlist group, and the study tracks changes in balance, nerve pain, and quality of life.
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.
