Clinical Trial: Comparing Cooling and/or Compression Approaches of Limbs for Prevention of Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Malignant Solid Neoplasm
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Ice Compress: Randomized Trial of Limb Cryocompression Versus Continuous Compression Versus Low Cyclic Compression for the Prevention of Taxane-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
Brief Summary:
This phase III trial compares the effect of 3 study approaches in preventing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy: 1) cryocompression, 2) continuous compression, and 3) low cyclic compression.Taxane chemotherapy drugs, such as paclitaxel or docetaxel, can cause a nerve disorder called peripheral neuropathy, which can cause numbness, tingling, or pain in the arms and legs.The 3 study approaches will use a device, called the Paxman Limb Cryocompression System, made of wraps that cool and/or compress the…
