Light Therapy for Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Childhood Cancer Survivors
This study is looking at whether a light therapy device called the Anodyne Therapy System can help childhood cancer survivors who have Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN). CIPN is nerve damage caused by chemotherapy, which can lead to pain, numbness, or tingling. The study aims to see if this at-home light therapy is practical and acceptable for survivors to use. You might be able to join if you had cancer as a child (diagnosed before age 21), are currently five years or older, received certain types of chemotherapy, and have CIPN symptoms. The study will be considered successful if at least 70% of participants complete 12 or more light therapy sessions. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 20 participants.
- Study design
- This is a single-arm pilot study, meaning all 20 participants will receive the light therapy. It is not specified if participants or researchers will be aware of the treatment being given.
- What's involved
- You would use the Anodyne Therapy System Model 120 at home for 15 minutes per day, 3 days per week, for 6 weeks. Your symptoms will be measured at the beginning and one week after the therapy ends.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your neuropathy symptoms will be measured one week after the 6-week intervention is completed.
