Pilot Clinical Trial Evaluating the Utility of Topical Cryotherapy to Decrease Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) and Paclitaxel-Induced Acute Pain Syndrome (P-APS): A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cryotherapy, Paclitaxel, and 2 other interventions for Breast Carcinoma. Completed, enrolled 46 participants across 8 sites.
Detailed Summary
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies topical cryotherapy (cooling hands and feet with ice bags) in reducing pain in patients with chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy or paclitaxel induced acute pain syndrome. Peripheral neuropathy is a nerve problem that causes pain, numbness, tingling, swelling, or muscle weakness in different parts of the body. Paclitaxel produces a disabling syndrome of acute aches and pains. Topical cryotherapy is being studied to see if it can help relieve pain from peripheral neuropathy or acute pain syndrome caused by chemotherapy.
