Neuromodulation as a Treatment for Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy

Description

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if using a type of non-invasive therapy called neurofeedback training can help teach patients with peripheral neuropathy how to change their own brain waves to lower their perception of neuropathy and help improve their overall quality of life. Neurofeedback training is a type of therapy that uses an electroencephalograph (EEG) and a computer software program to measure brain wave activity. This is an investigational study. The equipment used for neurofeedback training is FDA approved and commercially available. Using neurofeedback equipment to teach patients ways to modify their own brain waves to lower the perception of symptoms and improve quality of life is considered investigational. Up to 99 participants over the age of 18 will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
