Acupuncture and exercise for nerve pain from cancer treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding acupuncture and exercise can help prevent or reduce nerve pain, numbness, or tingling caused by a cancer treatment called EV-Pembro (a drug combination for bladder cancer). It may help you stay active and feel better during treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have bladder cancer (urothelial cancer)
- You have received at least one cycle of EV-Pembro and are before your fourth cycle
- You are able to walk for 6 minutes or about 2 blocks without help
- You are not currently exercising much (less than 1 hour of moderate or vigorous exercise per week)
- Your doctor says you can do moderate exercise

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 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 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.
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.
