Daily Hand-Held Vibration Therapy for the Reduction of Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy

Trial Status: active

This trial studies the side effects of daily hand-held vibration therapy and to see how well it works in reducing chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in cancer patients who have received neurotoxic chemotherapy. CIPN is a nerve damage (neuropathy) caused by chemotherapy. Vibration therapy uses oscillation (i.e., vibration) to stimulate tissues and surrounding nerves. Typically, vibration is delivered through a device like a small massager that patients hold against their skin for several minutes. Daily hand-held vibration therapy may reduce the severity of patient’s CIPN in their hands and improve CIPN-related quality of life.
