Comparing Cooling and/or Compression Approaches of Limbs for Prevention of Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy

Testing cooling and compression for preventing chemo-related nerve pain.

All
Phase 3

This study looks at ways to prevent nerve damage, called peripheral neuropathy, caused by certain chemotherapy drugs like taxane. Peripheral neuropathy can make your arms and legs feel numb, tingly, or painful. The study tests three methods using a special device called the Paxman Limb Cryocompression System. This device uses cryocompression (cooling and squeezing), continuous compression (steady squeezing), or low cyclic compression (gentle, on-and-off squeezing) on your arms and legs. The goal is to see if these methods can stop the nerve problems from happening.

  • Study Length: 12 weeks, with follow-ups up to 52 weeks.
  • Visits: Regular visits for chemotherapy and device use.
  • Risks: Possible skin changes or cold intolerance from the device.

To join, you should have a type of cancer called a solid tumor and be starting taxane chemotherapy soon. You cannot join if you have nerve issues already or certain blood or skin conditions. You must be 18 or older and able to fill out questionnaires. If you meet these criteria, you will be asked to give your consent to participate.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
