About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Neuropathy, Paraneoplastic focused on measuring neuropathy,paraneoplastic, paraneoplastic peripheral neuropathy, pain, hyperalgesia

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • painful peripheral neuropathy resulting from chemotherapy
  • pain must be present for minimum of 6 months
  • must be able to read/understand English
  • stable analgesics regimens allowed (no change for past 7 days)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • painful peripheral neuropathy that is not the result of chemotherapy
  • pregnant women
  • patients unable to wean off anti-epileptics
  • patients currently receiving chemotherapy known to cause peripheral neuropathy
  • patients with pacemakers or implanted defibrillators
  • patients with vena cava or aneurysm clips
  • patients with a history of epilepsy

Sites / Locations

  • University of Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Center

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Sham Comparator

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Sham device

MC-5A treatment

Arm Description

Sham therapy device to area of painful chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) for 45 minutes daily x 10 days

MC-5A therapy to the area of painful CIPN for 45 minutes daily for a total of 10 days.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in Mechanical Visual Analog Scale (mVAS) Using Quantitative Sensory Pain Testing (QSPT)
Pain levels will be compared as measured by changes in mVAS, and quantified and tested for normal distribution. If normally distributed, parametric test (i.e., two-sample t-test) will be used; p-values <0.05 will be considered statistically significant. If changes in mVAS are not normally distributed, non-parametric testing such as Wilcoxon rank-sum will be performed. VAS is measured at 3 time points. mVAS and deficits scale are used to obtain continuous quantitative information about positive and negative sensory phenomena during application of QSPT stimulation. Patients provide rating of positive sensory phenomena using mVAS if the stimulus at the pain test site is increased or painful when compared to normal control site. Rating on mVAS is obtained by instructing the patient to pull out the mechanical scale with millimeters (looks like a slide ruler) to reflect intensity of any painful sensation on a scale of 0 - 10, with 10 being the worst. Score = Visit - Baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Adverse Events
The number of participants experiencing adverse events, as defined by CTCAE

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Painful chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common complication of cancer therapy with few treatment options. CIPN is a complex side effect that varies between individuals and can be difficult to describe, difficult to treat and can significantly effect quality of life for patients. The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with painful CIPN will have a decrease in pain scores after treatment with the MC-5A device.
