Study Summary

This trial is testing whether cannabidiol cream can help relieve symptoms of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, a type of nerve pain.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with any cancer type who developed nerve pain or tingling from chemotherapy, stable on current neuropathy meds, if used. They must not be pregnant, nursing, or have skin issues where the cream would apply. No recent chemo (last 3 months) and no cannabis use within the last month.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if a cannabidiol cream can relieve nerve pain in hands/feet caused by chemotherapy compared to a placebo. Participants will also fill out questionnaires about their quality of life and symptoms during the trial.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include local skin reactions like redness or irritation at the site where the cream is applied. Since it's topical cannabidiol, systemic side effects are less likely but could include fatigue or changes in appetite.
