This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing photobiomodulation — a treatment using special laser light — to help reduce nerve pain that develops after chemotherapy. Cancer patients who experience nerve pain in their hands and feet after finishing chemotherapy often have few good treatment options. This study will see whether this light-based treatment can safely reduce that pain and improve quality of life.
Nerve pain after chemotherapy is very common and can severely impact daily activities, sleep, and emotional well-being. Current medications don't work well for everyone, and there are very few proven non-drug treatments available. This trial exists to see whether this light-based approach might offer patients a new, safer option.

If you join this trial, you will receive 8 laser light treatment sessions over 4 weeks (2 sessions per week). Each session lasts about 13 minutes and involves wearing protective eyeglasses while a certified clinician applies laser light to your hands and/or feet in a sitting or reclined position. You'll be randomly assigned to either receive the active laser treatment or a sham (fake) treatment that looks identical. Throughout the study, you'll answer questions about your pain and how you're feeling.
