Primary Investigator
Overview
The purpose of this study is to test a potential treatment for nerve damage (neuropathy) caused by chemotherapy.
Description
Researchers will review medical records and collect demographic information to screen for eligibility.
If eligible, participants will complete a baseline visit, completing questionnaires and receiving a small hand massager and instructions on how to perform hand vibration therapy during the study.
Participants will perform hand-held vibration therapy every day for 4 weeks at home for 3 minutes on each hand. Participants will record information about their therapy, complete daily online surveys, and additional surveys once per week.
After 4 weeks, participants will return the hand massager and answer questions about their neuropathy symptoms, quality of life, and satisfaction with the therapy.
For a follow-up period of 4 weeks, participants will complete weekly surveys. Participants will finish with a final visit in which they will receive the hand massager again to keep.
