Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the safety and feasibility of a daily 3-minute hand-held vibration therapy intervention to reduce the severity of CIPN in the hands. The investigators hypothesize that daily vibration therapy can reduce the severity of patient's CIPN in their hands and improve CIPN-related quality of life. The hope is that results from this study will provide early data on the feasibility, efficacy, and most importantly, safety, of daily 3-minute hand-held vibration therapy needed to justify future clinical trials examining vibration therapy as a potential option for treating CIPN in the future.

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

Subjects will be instructed to perform 3-minutes of vibration therapy per hand each day using a hand held vibration device for 4 weeks. The amount of time that subjects perform vibration therapy will be recorded on their Daily Compliance form and subjects will complete questionnaires daily and weekly.
