Sponsor

University of Utah

Enrollment

19 participants

Start Date

Aug 27, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate the change in pain scores among patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy after receiving treatment with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS).


Eligibility

Sex: FEMALEMin Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) — a non-invasive brain stimulation technique — for treating nerve pain caused by chemotherapy (also called chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, or CIPN). The pain can affect hands and feet and is a common and difficult-to-treat side effect of certain cancer treatments. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a woman aged 18 or older with a confirmed diagnosis of breast or gynecologic cancer - You developed neuropathic pain during or shortly after receiving platinum-based drugs, taxanes, or vinca alkaloids - Your pain score is 4 or above on a 0–10 scale, and your neuropathic pain score is 3 or above on the DN-4 questionnaire - The pain has persisted despite current treatment **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a pacemaker, metal implants in or near the head, or a history of seizures (which would make TMS unsafe) - You are pregnant - You have significant cognitive impairment - Your pain started more than one month after chemotherapy ended Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
