Summary

The primary objective of this study is to select the best intervention from cold therapy, compression therapy and placebo at reducing neuropathic pain as measured by the change in the Neurotoxicity (NTX) component of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT) - Taxane questionnaire, following 12 weeks of neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy with paclitaxel or docetaxel among breast cancer patients.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Age greater or equal to 18 years.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Prior treatment with taxane or platinum based chemotherapy
  • Known history of neuropathy
  • Raynaud's phenomenon
  • Peripheral arterial ischemia
  • Cold intolerance
  • Current use of duloxetine which may mitigate chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN)
