NCT04135326

Brief Summary

This early phase I trial studies how well transcranial direct current stimulation works in reducing pain in cancer patients with chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy. Transcranial direct current stimulation is used for patients with brain injuries such as strokes as well as for mental health issues such as depression and may help to control pain in cancer patients with chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy.

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Change in total opioid requirement (morphine equivalent daily dosage)

    Baseline up to 4-6 weeks post-treatment

  • Change in cancer related symptoms

    Baseline up to 4-6 weeks post-treatment

  • Change in functioning of Daily Activities

    Baseline up to 4-6 weeks post-treatment

  • Change in quality of life questionnaire

    Baseline up to 4-6 weeks post-treatment

  • Incidence of adverse events

    Up to 4-6 weeks post-treatment
