Cryotherapy to Prevent Taxane-Induced Sensory Neuropathy of the Hands and Feet
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Medical Device Usage and Evaluation and Questionnaire Administration for Breast Carcinoma. Completed, enrolled 94 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This clinical trial investigates the effect and tolerability of cryotherapy and to evaluate whether they can prevent or improve taxane-induced sensory peripheral neuropathy in breast cancer patients. Cryosurgery, also known as cryoablation or cryotherapy, kills tumor cells by freezing them. Patients receiving cryotherapy during infusion of taxane therapy may have lower incidence of peripheral neuropathy, better physical function, and higher quality of life as compared to patients previously reported in literature.
