Massage Therapy in Reducing Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Patients With Gastrointestinal or Breast Malignancies

Peripheral Neuropathy Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Pilot Study of Massage for Symptom Reduction in Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy

Clinical Trial Summary

This clinical trial studies massage therapy in reducing chemotherapy-induced nerve problems (peripheral neuropathy) that may cause pain, numbness, tingling, swelling, or muscle weakness in different parts of the body in patients with gastrointestinal or breast malignancies. Massage therapy may help reduce chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy symptoms and improve quality of life.

Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES; I. To compare completion rates of two massage treatment protocols (twice-weekly for 6 weeks versus three times weekly for 4 weeks) for patients with chronic, chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the initial efficacy and effect size estimates of twice versus three times weekly site specific (lower extremity) massage versus alternate massage site (head/neck/shoulder) control groups at treating chronic, lower extremity chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. II. To determine the initial efficacy and effect size estimates of massage on patient quality of life and functional performance tests. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 4 groups. GROUP I: Patients undergo massage therapy over 30 minutes to the affected legs at the foot and toes, ending at the knee, thrice weekly for 4 weeks. GROUP II: Patients undergo massage therapy over 30 minutes to the affected legs at the foot and toes, ending at the knee, twice weekly for 6 weeks. GROUP III: Patients undergo massage therapy over 30 minutes to the head, neck, and shoulder thrice weekly for 4 weeks. GROUP IV: Patients undergo massage therapy over 30 minutes to the head, neck, and shoulder twice weekly for 6 weeks. After completion of study, patients are followed periodically. ;
