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 a mobile phone app called the Peripheral Neuropathy Relief program that teaches family caregivers how to perform safe, specialized massage techniques for cancer survivors experiencing nerve pain and numbness from chemotherapy. The goal is to see whether this caregiver-delivered massage can reduce symptoms, decrease stress, and strengthen the connection between patients and their caregivers.
Nerve pain and numbness are common long-term side effects of chemotherapy that can make everyday tasks difficult and reduce quality of life. Many caregivers want to help but don't know safe, effective ways to provide support, leaving them feeling helpless or overwhelmed. This trial addresses that gap by teaching caregivers a proven massage technique they can use at home.

You and your caregiver will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: one that uses the Peripheral Neuropathy Relief app, one that uses a comparison program, or a waitlist group. If you receive the app, you and your caregiver will perform gentle massage techniques together at least three times per week for 15–20 minutes over 12 weeks, following specific instructions on the app about pressure, direction, and which areas to focus on. The study lasts 12 weeks, and you'll complete surveys before, during, and after to track any changes in your symptoms and quality of life.
