The Effect of Low Frequency Soundwave Stimulation on Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy

Studying soundwaves for nerve pain relief during chemo.

Recruiting
18 years and older
Female
Phase N/A

This study is looking at using a special chair, called the SensoniQ® Treatment Station, to help people who have nerve problems (called neuropathy) caused by cancer medicine. Neuropathy can make your hands and feet feel tingly or numb. The study is for people getting treatment with two cancer medicines, carboplatin and paclitaxel, for gynecologic cancers. The chair uses low-frequency sound waves to try and prevent or reduce these nerve problems.

  • The study will check if the chair can help people who are currently receiving treatment or those who already have nerve problems.
  • Participants must be 18 or older, have certain types of gynecologic cancers, and be able to understand English.
  • People who have other health issues that cause nerve problems, are pregnant, or weigh over 195kg cannot join the study.

Participation involves using the treatment chair during chemotherapy sessions and completing questionnaires about how you feel. Successful results could mean fewer nerve problems for people on these medicines, improving their quality of life. There are no extra risks from using this chair.
