Trial Outcomes & Findings for Breast/Evaluation of Cryotherapy and TRPA1 Receptors in Chemotherapy Induced Neuropathy (NCT NCT03329131)

NCT ID: NCT03329131

Last Updated: 2024-10-16

Results Overview

A Visual analog scale (VAS) was used to assess change in pain after using a mustard oil challenge from pre- to post-infusion and the results reported as an average. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a tool that measures pain intensity by asking a patient to mark a point on a 100 mm line that represents their current pain level. The line has two endpoints, with 0mm representing "no pain" and 100mm representing "pain as bad as it could possibly be". The patient's score is determined by measuring the distance in millimeters from the left end of the line to the point they mark. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity.

Measure
Cryotherapy
Each patient will receive cryotherapy administered during each neurotoxic chemotherapy agent infused treatments by Elasto gel™ Hypothermia gloves and socks. Patients will wear the glove and sock for 15 minutes prior to treatment start and 15 minutes following treatment completion, for a total of 30 minutes. Cryotherapy: An Elasto gel™ frozen (4°C) glove and sock

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Change from baseline to 6 months post chemo (up to 14 months)

Population: Only 7 of the subjects were evaluable, and not all data from all time points was available due to suspension of research activities during the pandemic
