Brain stimulation for breast cancer nerve pain from chemo
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether acupuncture and compression therapy can prevent nerve damage caused by taxane chemotherapy in early-stage breast cancer. It aims to reduce numbness, tingling, or pain in the hands and feet.
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.
This trial tests if electroacupuncture can help with nerve pain or numbness caused by taxane chemotherapy for breast cancer. It may offer relief for ongoing symptoms after treatment.
This study tests a gentle brain stimulation treatment (called theta burst) to see if it can reduce nerve pain caused by breast cancer chemotherapy. If you have ongoing tingling or burning in your hands or feet, this treatment aims to calm those symptoms without using more medication.
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 study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (over the motor cortex) can help relieve pain caused by nerve damage from chemotherapy. It is for people who have completed cancer treatment at least 3 months ago and have ongoing painful neuropathy.
