Official title: Pilot Randomized Feasibility Trial Comparing Investigational Hand Therapy Intervention to Traditional Occupational Therapy Intervention to Prevent Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy of the Hands in Patients Receiving Albumin Bound Paclitaxel + Gemcitabine Containing Combination Chemotherapy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

A pilot randomized feasibility trial with a blinded evaluator.

Clinical Trial Description

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) has a dose limiting effect which can greatly affect quality of life and often limits the amount of treatment patients can receive in treating their cancer. In the discipline of hand therapy, there is a science-based body of knowledge with effective protocols to treat neuropathies associated with injury and disease. These interventions have not been explored on patients with CIPN. ;
