Summary
This trial is testing an internet-based pain coping program for cancer survivors with nerve pain. They will assess how well the program works and how it affects pain, function, psychological distress, and coping.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adult cancer survivors who've finished their main cancer treatments, have stable medication use, and suffer from moderate to severe peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy. Participants must speak English, be able to access the internet, and not have progressive cancer or unrelated preexisting pain conditions.
What is being tested?
The study tests an 8-week online program designed to help manage pain and discomfort due to chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. It aims to see if this internet-delivered training can reduce pain interference with daily activities and improve psychological well-being.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves non-pharmaceutical coping skills training delivered over the internet, there are no direct medical side effects associated with traditional drug trials. However, participants may experience emotional distress or fatigue related to engaging with the material.
