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.
