Light therapy for nerve pain from cancer treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a light treatment (photobiomodulation) to see if it can help prevent or reduce nerve pain and numbness that can happen during cancer treatment. It is for people who are starting or receiving cancer therapy and do not already have nerve problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at whether light (photobiomodulation) and laser-like therapy can reduce nerve pain in people who developed neuropathy after chemotherapy. If you match the chemotherapy and language requirements, you may be screened to see if this treatment is safe and helpful for your symptoms.
This study tests whether shining light on the feet and legs can help reduce nerve damage caused by chemotherapy in people who had cancer as children. If you have ongoing numbness, tingling, or pain in your hands or feet from past chemo, this trial may offer a gentle, drug-free treatment.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to see if it can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. It also looks at how the treatment affects the brain and immune system.
This study tests whether a small device that sends gentle electrical pulses to nerves in your leg can relieve pain caused by chemotherapy. If you have ongoing nerve pain in your legs from past chemo, this treatment might offer a new way to manage it.
This trial studies whether a skin-applied, acupuncture-like electrical treatment can reduce ongoing nerve pain (chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy) after breast cancer chemotherapy. It may help if your nerve symptoms have not improved after finishing chemo.
This trial tests whether a spinal cord stimulator, a small device that sends gentle electrical signals to block pain, can relieve nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. If you have ongoing numbness or burning in your hands or feet after treatment, this study might help you feel better and improve your quality of life.
